The Team's Board Report - Mainfreight

International Division – John Hepworth
Teamwork at its Best – Pickle
Award Needed!
As we come to the busy end of the year our teams
are under pressure ensuring our customers’ freight
makes the required vessels from ports around
the world and to eventually being delivered to the
shops and retail outlets. With the pressure on
we must help our teams not just in our divisions
but amongst all divisions. It was just great to
see recently our MFD Clayton team rally a bus
full of their team members and on Saturday head
to Campbellfield to assist MFL who were under
incredible pressure after Melbourne Cup day
to deliver orders for some of our biggest liquor
accounts. Well done Glenn and his team.
Target Logistic Services
We recently had the pleasure of having Chris
Coppersmith, CEO of Target Logistic Services,
visit our branches in Auckland and New Plymouth
(for the opening of our new freight facility) in
New Zealand. He also stopped for a short time
in Australia, visiting all sites in Melbourne and
Sydney. Chris was suitably impressed with what
he saw within the Mainfreight Group as well
as enjoying a Saturday tour of the Yarra Valley
wineries in Victoria, Australia.
For the wine afficionados within
Mainfreight you might be interested to
know that Chris is quite an expert in
this area, so when looking for a great
American Pinot Noir you know who to
contact.
Target Logistics
Conference in Asia
Michael Lofaro and I had the great
pleasure of meeting the Target Asian
network in Penang in October. The
Target offices throughout China are
licensed offices to the USA parent
company. This means they work
exclusively with each other in the
USA trade. It was exciting to meet
representatives from almost every
country in Asia and the sub‐continent.
