The buzz phrase has been…. “survive to 25” well that’s just around the corner now……. thankfully.
People ask me almost every day the following questions as they think our industry is a good barometer of the economy.
(Q) “ how’s it going ?”
(Q) “are you busy?”
and I reply ……
(A) “It’s been a tough year but when the OCR cuts started to happen it picked up” and its continuing to do so. Then I rattle on about the reserve bank over stating or over creating this recession…don’t get me started……
BUT I am confident that 2025 will be a far better year and we all need to prepare for an economy that will prosper.”
I genuinely believe this is the case as we are seeing businesses invest in product , invest in people and release the shackles and look to grow again .
We are looking to expand our network with more sites throughout NZ , new services , new improved technology and continue to create a better business to assist our customers.
Once again, thank you for your support and for working hard and smart to get through this so we can make it through too.
Enjoy your festive season and from my family and my management team across all sites – safe travels and see you back in 2025.
Yours faithfully ,
Chris O’Driscoll
Proud to keep lifting the standard at Store Rite as we continue to grow.
We set out to be an independent logistics option for customers looking to 3pl in Christchurch and what a ride it’s been.
We’ve been in trusted by customers not only in New Zealand but those with a global reach and it’s still just beginning of what we want to achieve.
There are many to thank and you know who you are, but it’s also a good time to reflect and take a minute to remember David our Day one Driver who is no longer with us but never forgotten.
Congrats to Paul and the Team

As you may or may or may not be aware the government has increased the Road User Charges for diesel vehicles from the 1st October. This is a direct cost to our business as we run a full diesel fleet to complete collections and deliveries.
Unfortunately, we cannot absorb this cost into the business and have to pass on in some shape or form as all transport companies are doing.
We have decided the easiest way to do this is do add the costs into our Fuel surcharge. From the first of October we will raise the FAF base point by 1% to cover RUC cost impact.
Any questions please feel free to call
Kind regards
