The Team's Board Report - Mainfreight

Contribution from Brendan Ryan
At the recent International Seed Federation
World Congress held at Christchurch in May,
Mainfreight was the sole transport company on
display!
Brendan’s cell-phone doesn’t take the greatest
photograph, but at least it’s a record of a very
successful event
As a group, you will all be very aware of the
Alan Duff Books In Homes programme.
Our Sydney team was humbled and honoured
recently when we attended Doonside Public
School (in the western suburbs of Sydney)
where the special guests for the day were Their
Excellencies, The Governor General of Australia
and his wife.
Below is a small note of thanks.
“Just wanted to let you know that Friday’s
assembly at Doonside went tremendously and
was an experience the school will cherish for a
very long time!
It was also a pleasure to meet Vanessa
Lowe and David Coe who really enjoyed
themselves and took great pride in helping Their
Excellencies hand out books to the children.
More than 800 delegates attended this congress
from around the world and Mainfreight was
there to assist and advise with transportation
needs. Most brands were in attendance with
representation from Mainfreight International
NZ, Mainfreight International Australia, Owens
Transport and CaroTrans USA.
Thank you again – without your support this
amazing experience would not have taken place
so we are truly grateful!”
Mainfreight has a growing presence with this
industry in many countries and most delegates
recognized this ongoing commitment.
Our teams had the opportunity to catch up with
many existing customers and friends to discuss
the upcoming season requirements for USA,
NZ and Australia. In addition to our traditional
trades, many delegates from Europe, South
America and Africa had shown interest for
Mainfreight to participate to and from their parts
of the world.
So “onwards and upwards’ with the seed
industry for Mainfreight as we continue to be
recognized as the specialist transport provider
around the globe.
Most guests in attendance voted this
conference “The Best Ever” and the
New Zealand culture, professionalism and
friendship was on full display!
On to Prague for 2008 and Mainfreight will be
there again to show the World Seed Industry we
are here to stay!!!
Over the last 6 months we’ve also had the
great pleasure of celebrating a number of
team members achieving 5, 10 and 15 year
milestones ... our family continues to grow and
achieve new heights of success.
Looking forward, the challenge for Mainfreight
International Australia is to maintain high levels
of commitment and care. We need to stay
focused on achieving our Key Performance
Indicators and serving our clients in an ever
demanding market.
To the Mainfreight International Australian team,
a vote of thanks for your continued dedication
and commitment to our goals.
Remember team, Dare to Dream! There are no
limits to what we can achieve as long as we
continue to work as a team.
