Currently no two days are the same. being able to utilize skills I have not used in ages has been wonderful. One day I'm fencing, driving a tractor, spreading effluent next day I'm rebuilding machinery, welding, utilizing computer skills and tossing in some leadership skills into the mix. Enjoying this until something better comes along.

Great staff, Great place, Responsible for planning and dispatch for the Sideloader division in Timaru. Included Skele's when required. Provided cover for Hiab Dispatch when dispatcher was on leave. When started at Hiltons, I was working night shift driving spud trucks. (As a contractor). Then progressed to full time day shift, then changed to night shift under the best manager I had ever worked under. (Thanks Jimmy!!) Followed through and worked my way through to full time dispatch supervisor. Worked with, and guided by Mark, Chris, Dave, and of course Jim. I still look up to these guys, and respect their advice. The reason I left HHL was they decided to combine dispatch roles - Hiab & Containers. Dave had been there longer than I had, so I made the call to walk away and find a different role. (If you dont want to lose an employee do not ever put in a letter "if your application is unsuccessful and if a suitable position cannot be found within the company then redundancy provisions will apply.. just saying)
