      Jan 2004 - Mar 2016

      I relocated from Auckland to Tauranga in 2004 to open the Tauranga branch of Southern Hospitality. From Tauranga the staff service the Bay of Plenty and Coromandel regions. Starting with minimal staff & resources, Tauranga continued to grow and with its proximity to the Port of Tauranga became the logical position for the North Island Distribution Warehouse. At the time of moving from the Managers role there were approximately 30 staff many of who have been with the company for a number of years with minimal staff turnover. Show less
