Proud to have played a small part in such a great community project. 👏

At Stuart Drummond Transport, we were more than happy to donate the log cartage to help get this locally grown timber from the forest to the sawmill and support the new Huia Rugby Clubrooms.

It’s fantastic to see local businesses and the forestry industry coming together to support a project that will benefit Huia whānau, the club and the wider Motueka community for many years to come.

We’re proud to support our local community and even prouder to see locally grown timber being used to build something that will have such a lasting impact.

Well done to everyone involved — we’re stoked to have been a small part of it. 🏉🌲
