The Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter is proud to announce Les Harrison Transport Group as an official Supporting Sponsor of the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter. The friendly people at Les Harrison Transport Group are no strangers to the rescue crew, having made donations towards the service in the past and will continue their legacy of keeping the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter operational all year round.
From the earliest he can remember, young Taupiri boy Les has had a passion for trucks. At the age of 15, he began working at the freezing works in Horotiu and 15 years later he purchased a small truck off Davies Transport. This is where his truck driving career took off. After five years working at Davies Transport, Les Harrison Transport Ltd was formed.
Les Harrison Transport Group is passionate about educating clients and potential customers of the value of a truck that can lift and carry. Proving this value has built the significant client base Les Harrison Transport Ltd caters for today.
Based in Hamilton and Tauranga, Les Harrison Transport Group are on hand to do just about anything. What began as a passion driven career, to what now carts anything that can be delivered by a crane on the back of a truck, getting anything from building supplies, concrete products and containers to where they need to be efficiently. They also have flat deck, swing lift, and curtain side trucks to fit the needs of any job, and a container hire and sales division to give people the storage option they need, where they need it.
There are numerous great opportunities Les Harrison Transport Group has taken up, including their most recent one: becoming a Supporting Sponsor for the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Last year, the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter completed 986 missions, over 90 of these were for motor vehicle accidents and 6 involving trucks. Being out on the roads, travelling in often remote locations, potentially hours from the nearest hospital, means that Les Harrison Transport Group understands the impact a rescue helicopter can have in a life and death situation.
The Waikato Westpac Rescue Crew are proud to be sporting the Les Harrison Transport Ltd logo, knowing that the Les Harrison Transport Group has helped fund the life-saving missions they complete every day. When you see the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter flying overhead, thank Les Harrison Transport Ltd for making it happen.
