At Channel Mag we love celebrating business success, so to hear that our local Pack & Send Takapuna franchise (and regular magazine contributor) has won the brand's Franchisee of the Year award for the second year in a row is heartwarming.
“We were surprised to get the award again this year, going back-to-back,” said owner Jeremy Bain during August. “It’s unusual, but we did achieve a lot over the past 12 months so I guess we were the stand-outs once again this year. We are chuffed as it was a real team effort.”
The Pack & Send Franchisee of the Year award recognises excellence achieved right across the business. That includes contribution to the development of the team and other franchisees; overall financial performance in relation to sales, gross margin and operating profit; marketing and sales initiatives; accuracy and timeliness of submission of all reports to Pack & Send head office; insurance claims and customer complaints experience; presentation and quality of store.
Congratulations Jane, Jeremy and team!
Pack & Send Takapuna is your "one stop shop" when you need to send artwork, sculptures, ceramics and antiques – anywhere. No matter how large, awkward, valuable or fragile the item is, you can rely on Pack & Send's experienced operators to package it and get it delivered, safely.
Jane and Jeremy Bain, the local franchisees at Pack & Send Takapuna have a "No Limits" approach when helping customers solve packaging and freight problems around art and antiques. "Many of the items we have dealt with are valuable," says Jeremy. "Not only in the monetary sense but because the pieces may have been handed down through the family for generations. They are irreplaceable on so many levels."
It doesn't matter where it's going – New York, London, Sydney, Queenstown – the same care and attention is given to every consignment. "We collect it, package it, take care of the documentation, track it right through to the destination and get it signed for," says Jane.
As well, Pack & Send customers can use their Freight Plus warranty cover against loss or damage to secure that extra peace of mind – something not generally available when freighting artworks.
For those really delicate items like fine antiques or ceramics, Pack & Send can use its state of the art Foam in Place packaging system, which forms a protective mould around the item, for safe transport. "We also produce custom-made boxes to any size or shape," adds Jeremy. "Because we treat each consignment as unique, designing packaging and the freight solutions to suit, we're finding that more and more people benefit from our services."
Pack & Send provides service, systems and packaging to make your freight experience as simple and smooth as possible. You don't need to open an account; they send anything, anywhere and take care of the hassles.
