That’s what it’s all about. We really value our customers. They’ve been good to us and we’ve been good to them. We rely on them and they rely on us. It’s a win-win,” says Alistair. The strong customer relationships Perrins Trans- port has developed are obvious. “One customer popped in the other day for a cof- fee and a chat just because it was a wet day and he had some time to kill. We welcome that and we love the fact that he chose to spend that time with us.” Alistair also acknowledges his staff as a big factor in the company’s success over the years. “I’d like to thank our drivers and office staff, they are our front line, along with the stock agents Perrins has dealt with over the years. They are loyal and we have formed lifelong friendships.” For All Your Cartage Requirements • Stock Cartage • Fertiliser • Spreading • General Cartage Proud to support Perrins Transport Owaka’s Cartage Specialist W.E.
