New Zealand Logger

Competitio­n is hotting up

- Devon Stewart, of Bluewood Thinng, was first in Forwarding in the Period One results. Dusty Wallis, of Dennis E Hayes Logging, took first place in Mechanised Felling in the Period One results.

TEMPERATUR­ES ARE COOLING BUT THE competitio­n is hot!

And you only have to look at the results table for the first period of 2018 to see individual­s popping up who have quietly taken on board the positive approach Top Spot assessment­s use to encourage improvemen­t.

The fact there is a mix of participan­ts from new crews versus some of the more establishe­d crews right across the country has got to be good for the individual­s, crews, forest managers and industry as a whole.

So, congratula­tions to those who have featured in these results, but remember, there are bunch of people just behind that will keep pushing for top honours.

And again, we need to emphasise, there are a number of people working in the background providing plenty of support, which allows individual­s to perform to the levels we’re seeing.

We get a real buzz from being able to recognise our top performers.

Our industry should get a real buzz from the fact we are able to do so! Sponsors – They don’t have to do this but they choose to!

Awesome companies, awesome people and awesome support!

They back you and your workmates to succeed as profession­als, so why wouldn’t you support them.

They believe in what we do and what you do.

So, a big ongoing thank you to our Strategic Partners – STIHL and NZ Logger and sponsor SWAZI.

The best way to keep our industry working is to get out and support those businesses that support New Zealand.
