| 47 FORESTRY Cable Logging Geraldine The company has become highly efficient with their processing of plantation trees since it became fully mechanised. For more than 25 years, Port Blakely has worked alongside Cable Logging Geraldine, a contractor that has become a trusted part of our South Canterbury operations. What sets Cable Logging apart is its people. Led by owners with hands-on forestry experience, the company brings accountability, practical knowledge, and a clear understanding of the work. The result is a tight-knit crew that takes pride in doing the job well and looking out for one another. Over the years, that approach has built a strong and reliable team. They take on a wide range of forestry work and deliver consistent results. Whether the terrain is straightforward or more challenging, the crew brings the same focus and work ethic to every job. They’ve also shown a willingness to adapt and try new approaches when needed. In some of Geraldine Forest’s more di icult terrain, the crew has used innovative harvesting methods to safely and productively extract the trees, and get the job done. Cable Logging’s commitment to safety and development is just as strong. The crew has achieved Safetree certi ication and regularly takes part in Port Blakely’s safety initiatives. Their recognition as Canterbury West Coast Contractor of the year in 2022 re lects that consistency over time. For Port Blakely, it comes down to trust and shared values. As a family-owned forestry business with more than 30 years in New Zealand, we believe in long-term partnerships and being a steady presence in the community. That commitment extends beyond forestry, including allowing access for the annual Geraldine Primary School fundraising motorbike trail ride, monetary donations to local clubs and sports teams, and donating irewood logs for local fundraising projects. We’re grateful for the skill, reliability, and commitment Cable Logging brings to our operations, and we congratulate the team on 25 years in business. We look forward to continuing the partnership in the years ahead.
