Community
Being locally based is a strategic advantage that enhances operational efficiency and community engagement. We have invested in establishing strategically located premisses in Gap Ridge and Karratha Airport, midway between the Burrup/Dampier Ports and Karratha, ensuring a rapid response time to meet the diverse needs of our clientele. By having a local presence, we not only foster a sense of belonging within the community but also contribute to the economic development of the region.
What sets us apart is our commitment to employing local drivers, eliminating the reliance on FIFO workers. This decision not only supports the local workforce but also creates a more reliable and dedicated team, intimately familiar with the area and its unique challenges. This approach not only ensures a higher level of service but also strengthens the bonds between our company and the community we serve.
