The owner and founder of Professional
Movers Ltd is Don Lisle. Don is from a NZ farming background. He is married
with five children; his wife is a practising medical doctor.
Don came to Auckland in 1996 with his family. He
bought a two ton moving truck and worked as an owner driver for other moving
companies. He noted the lack of communication which led to poor service. He
also recognised that the industry lacked any objective standards or training
scheme.
With these problems in mind Don decided to go out on
his own. He founded Professional Movers Ltd in 2001. The very name
'Professional Movers' suggests an important part of Don's philosophy - he wants
to play his part in making the industry more professional.
Since 2001 the single two ton truck has become
eleven trucks of varying sizes. Don has the right truck for each job. He
recognises that a company cannot provide a professional service without the
right gear. The trucks are equipped with Global Positioning Systems which
enable the progress and location of each vehicle to be known at all times. This
means in practice that he can tell a client exactly how long the travel time
will be and when to expect the truck. Don makes the best use of modern
technology in his quest to provide the best possible service.
Don also wishes to do the best for his staff in
terms of training. He has written a manual of staff training covering
techniques for moving goods. This could provide a base for a nation-wide
training scheme. He is presently seeking NZQA approval for a training course
based on the manual. To encourage staff to be stable, Don offers an incentive
scheme for those undertaking training.
In short, if you want the best service available
from a man with care and initiative, hire Don and Professional Movers Ltd.
