I wanted to reach out personally to share some news about Stellar.
After a lot of thought I’ve made the decision for Stellar to join forces with another New Zealand owned logistics company called Sorted Logistics. This is something I feel really positive about and I’m confident it will be a great step forward for our customers and our team.
The most important thing I wanted you to know is that nothing changes with the people you work with or the service you receive. Stellar remains the same team and the same business you’ve always dealt with. Your contacts stay the same and the way we support you day to day continues exactly as it is today.
I’m also not going anywhere. I will remain actively involved in the business and will continue working alongside the Sorted team to make sure the transition is smooth and that we keep delivering the level of service you expect from us.
The reason I feel good about this partnership is that Sorted brings some great capability across warehousing, distribution and domestic transport that complements what we already do well in international freight forwarding. It gives us more tools to support our customers while still keeping the personal service and relationships that Stellar was built on.
Sorted is a privately owned Kiwi company that started in 2012 and has grown quickly by focusing on service and long term relationships with their customers. When we started talking it became clear we share very similar values and a similar way of doing business.
Over the coming weeks I’ll be getting around to see many of you in person and I’ll introduce you to the Sorted team as well. There are some exciting opportunities that will come from bringing the businesses together and I’m looking forward to talking with you.
Most importantly, this is not a big overseas corporate takeover. It’s simply two New Zealand companies working together to build something stronger for our customers.
If you have any questions at all please feel free to call me anytime.
Thanks again for the support you’ve given Stellar over the years and I’m looking forward to the next chapter together.
