Another incredibly big year at Long Haul Publications – a significant year – and as I write this we are busier than ever. I know I speak on behalf of my business partner Margaret Murphy also when I say I can’t think of a group of people more deserved of a Christmas break than our crew.

We are humbled every day, week, and month at the level of interest, commitment, and engagement the team all have in pursuing our fundamental mission of telling New Zealand’s road transport story better than anyone else.

It is an absolute privilege to work with you all, I’m always a better person for every day spent in your company – I mean that sincerely, especially in light of the loyalty and enthusiasm you’ve all showed in a year that at times has been far from easy. It is thrilling to see you all actively and freely participating in where the company is going, and what it might look like in the years ahead.

To our suppliers, we thank you for your support across whichever of our media vehicles you chose to tell your customers your story. Aligned with our fundamental mission we believe sales and marketing to be another form of the road transport story. Whether informing potential customers of great deals, or cementing your place and purpose into the hearts and minds, your message will best served in the care of truly committed people at Long Haul Publications.

And to our readers, listeners, and all who enjoy our content, without you, none of us would be here, none of what we do would be possible. We are all incredibly grateful for your support of our products, and for your love of the road transport industry. It is without doubt the most interesting time there’s ever been to be involved in trucking, that’s for sure.

To each and every one of you, from all of us here at Long Haul, please, travel safe over the Christmas/New Year holidays. Have a wonderful time, and a great rest. See you all in 2024!
