Dean Wayne

Honouring Our Great People 

A rare feat: 80 years of combined service.

HWR's staff are one of its best assets. Every year, a lot of employees hit impressive career milestones at HWR. Some stay in the same area, while others work for different parts of the Group. But they all have something in common: they are loyal and dedicated, and they exceed in their jobs. The HWR Long Service Awards recognise these long terms. Recently, many people have marked big anniversaries, from 20 to 50 years with the company. Thank you for your commitment and contributions.

Wayne Williams, Manager, and Dean Carleton, Stock Manager, each celebrate 40 years with the Group, totaling 80 years of service. Wayne has been with Transport Services Ltd (TSL) throughout his career, while Dean began trucking in 1984 at Freight Haulage. He later moved to Ryal Bush Transport in 1994 before joining TSL in Nightcaps, Western Southland, in 1999.

Operating a fleet of 35 trucks, TSL serves as the backbone of transport and logistics in their community, offering stock, bulk, freight, and bulk cartage services. Over the years, Wayne and Dean have witnessed numerous changes and faced challenges, all shared with great people in their close-knit rural community. Where have 40 years gone? Thank you both for your hard work, dedication, and shared laughs over the years. Your achievement and loyalty are truly phenomenal. Here's to a few more ahead!
