Elle the Golden Lab has seen nearly every change that has occurred at Glenn and Kerri Wylie’s Gore Freight & Storage. The 14-year-old moves around about a bit slower these days, but still keeps her nose in all of the business and happenings at the busy Southland operation.

“She’s getting on, but she’s seen all the changes we’ve ever made here,” says Glenn.

Gore Freight & Storage had just been established in September 2009 when Elle arrived as an energetic pup. A lot has changed in nearly 15 years with new buildings and a larger yard, plus new trucks and more staff as GFS has carved a foothold in the Southern transport scene based on its local general freight service.

The Gore couple have been married for 17 years and have spent all of that time working together in the transport industry.

“I started at Hokonui Haulage back in 1999 and then went to Andrews Transport in Riversdale as a stock truck driver,” says Glenn.
