On Friday 8 June, Mainfreight International was
invited to attend the Mangere Central Primary
School’s assembly to receive a number of
birthday cards that the students had made for
the 7th birthday of the Westney Road site.
The students, who are recipients of the Duffy
Books in Homes which Mainfreight sponsors,
were delighted that their works of art were
received personally and that the effort that was
put into the cards was appreciated.
Shane Douglas addressed the school assembly
and gave them some background on the Books
in Homes project, and the value that children
need to place on reading and learning in
general.
The birthday
cards are currently
proudly displayed
at the reception
area of Westney
Road for all visitors
to see.
Perishable Growth
We believe we have strong growth opportunities
with our airfreight Perishable offer. We are
working closely between the Auckland and
Christchurch branches to further develop our
teams and growth.
Hot Cross Bunnies
This year all branches treated their valued
clients with Easter bun packs, which consisted
of hot cross buns and a Mainfreight tea towel.
They went down a treat! In Napier Amber
Abernethy, Kelly Barnett and Tina Lord donned
their bunny ears, little tails and Mainfreight
shirts to deliver the goodies to International and
Transport clients.
Move
Monday 18 June saw the first day the Napier
team worked out of the refurbished Mainfreight
offices. The move was successful and it is
great to walk into a lovely looking building! We
are all very excited to be working in closely with
the team at Mainfreight Transport.
