Head office for the company is the Tauriko business estate, and not far along the new network of roads is the recently opened Penske dealership.

Preco director Ian Davies says the company has outsourced its transport work for the past 20 years. But winning a contract in Wellington, not far from Preco’s precast plant at Otaki, led Ian and fellow director Brian Griffin to look at other trucking... ...
