Not every man and his dog can boast a lifetime on the road together making their community's parcel deliveries, but that's exactly what Whangarei courier franchisee Craig Hausman and best mate Brutus have clocked up.
The popular pair has been recognised along with 260 other Fastway Courier franchisees across the country as part of the company's first Courier Day.
Courier Day, on September 21, was designed to get Fastway's head office team out from behind the desk and behind the wheel.
It's a chance for the company back office support team to get a taste of what it takes to be a courier driver and Fastway's chief executive Scott Jenyns is looking forward to hitting the road.
"Our courier franchisees are out and about every day, rain, hail or shine. They do a remarkable job day in, day out, and we as a company want to officially recognise that." said Mr Jenyns.
