The Team's Board Report - Mainfreight

40
Must be the new roof we put on the building,
I’m sure it’s helped by keeping the rain outside!
The Wellington team has probably provided the
greatest turnaround since taking on the new
facility and tripling their overheads as a result.
With a warehouse reaching its capacity, the
team has done a wonderful job showing what
can be done when you embrace the standards
we are all so proud of.
With new business proving an additional 50
containers a week, there was no room for error;
with the cooperation of the other divisions the
outcome has been heartening.
O’Rorke Road has always historically been
our best performing operation and it’s this
consistency that has made them champions.
We understand at times we don’t have enough
people and hours get extended, as we often
have no choice but to meet our customers’
ever-increasing expectations.
It doesn’t go without notice and we appreciate
and say thanks to those who have helped
maintained our standards in both O’Rorke and
all our other operations.
Owens Logistics Auckland has again started
the year strongly and we expect more good
things from this unique operation focused on
the Dangerous Goods market. Christchurch has
had a bumpy start, but given the quality of the
team and the passion they project,
a return to satisfactory profits will
not be far away. With the addition
of a class 3 bunker nearing
completion (after only two years
trying to get through local council
and site owners), Brynley’s team
will finally have an answer to some
of our DG storage constraints in
Christchurch.
Additionally we have just installed
our first ‘curtain-sided canopy’ in
Owens Christchurch as a means
to create much better utilisation of
the building’s design for outside
storage.
