WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Tyreline Distributors named New Zealand distributor for Shell Lubricants T yreline Distributors Limited is partnering with Shell after being named the New Zealand distributor for Shell Lubricants. Grant and Barbara Rushbrooke founded Tyreline Distributors Limited in 1987 as an agricultural tyre distributor. Today Tyreline is a full-ser vice tyre importer and wholesaler headquartered in Hamilton, with warehouses in Hamilton, Auckland and Christchurch. Since signing the partnership with Shell, Tyreline has grown its Shell sales force to ensure customers are serviced nationwide. Troy Chapman, executive director Shell South East Asia Oceania Lubricants, said there were several reasons Tyreline was chosen. “ We are very pleased to be partnering Tyreline, with its strong network of partners and its vast experience in the automotive industry. We look forward to working collaboratively to accelerate growth, increase Shell’s lubricants market share in New Zealand, and provide competitive solutions to our customers.” Grant says his business was constantly evolving and the partnership with Shell was the perfect opportunity to grow the business and provide the best quality products to clients. The company ’s commitment to the environment, and exploring second-generation biofuels, was also a drawcard, he said. Paccar Australia managing director Andrew Hadjikakou presents Southpac CEO Maarten Durent with a commemorative plaque at the opening of the new Hamilton premises. Southpac opens new Hamilton site N ew Zealand Trucking congratulates Southpac on the opening of their new Hamilton premises. It was officially opened by Paccar Australia managing director Andrew Hadjikakou and Southpac CEO Maarten Durent this week. The brand new $6.5m site has a comprehensive six-bay workshop and full parts, training and administration facilities. Including their own sites, Southpac is now represented at 30 locations throughout New Zealand. Maarten pointed out that he joined a group of five that included Jason Popplewell and Peter Dynes and toured dealerships throughout Australia to discover what worked well and what mistakes had been made in the past. Since then both Jason and Peter have built new premises based on the knowledge gained during the trip. Southpac’s Auckland workshop, and now the new Hamilton premises, were also designed around their findings. Maarten said, “ We didn’t want to spend millions of dollars and make [the same] mistakes all over again.” He added, “It’s all about parts and service” – emphasising that top-class premises coupled with good training systems attracted top quality technicians and parts experts, and that was an important driver when improving the quality of their workshops. Andrew noted that the relationship between Paccar and Southpac had lasted more than three decades. He said they were one of Paccar’s longest serving dealers and Australia was proud of their achievements in New Zealand.
