A note from Craig . .
.
As many of you know, I've been with
Petersons for a few years now. I've seen the company triple in staff, and become
one of the most respected portable sawmill manufacturing companies in the world.
We do this partly by keeping in touch with our customers before and after a
sale, and attending shows to demonstrate exactly what our swingblade mills can
do.
This year we are demonstrating at twice the amount of shows as last year,
in fact, I'm currently in the process of gearing up for our largest show for
2007, Ligna in Germany. Rosie Decker and
I will be taking Ligna by storm, operating our trusted WPF, and releasing the
Skillmill to Europe. It will be a good
chance to catch up with Peterson Agents in Europe, as well as showing our mills
off to thousands of spectators. I'm
really looking forward to that one.
Lately I've been helping out in the factory
a lot - testing and inspecting mills before they leave the factory and helping
the guys crate and pack them. I've
definitely enjoyed running the mills on a day-to-day basis again. Although, as much as I enjoy it, after a hard
days milling nothing quite beats a cold beer in a warm bar, so if you're ever
heading this way, come down to Hennessey's, an Irish bar here in Rotorua,
NZ. You'll catch me there most Friday
nights having a few drinks with the lads.
Cheers,
Craig Hammond
Business Development Manager
Just a note . . .
This is the final instalment of Peterson's Staff
stories. In the next issue of 'Cutting Comments', we will be introducing a new feature: 'Peterson Projects' - handy hints, tips and
plans from those who have built with wood cut from Peterson
mills.
