Service Exporter relishes first award

Air New Zealand Cargo last night walked away with Service Exporter of the Year Award during the 2012 Prime Minister's Exporter of the Year Awards last night in Sigatoka.

The award which is the first for the airline that has been in operating in Fiji quite some time came as sigh of relief to the team of representatives present at the ceremony.

FijiLive caught up with Blair Gourdie, the Regional Manager, NZ and Pacific Islands International Cargo Sales who said he was overjoyed and dedicated the achievement to his crew.

"We have one of the experienced and most professional cargo sales team in the Pacific region and this award is an excellent recognition of our work and commitment," he said.

"Air New Zealand strongly believes in providing timely and efficient services to its customers and our dedicated team is always on the go to provide the best service to all clients across the region.”

“We have been serving Fiji for quite some time now and it truly feels great to be rewarded by the Fijian government for our work which indeed has been noticed and recognized.”

Gourdie said the airline company will continue to strive for excellence and will change with time to keep its services up to date and on par always.

He added that Fiji’s Service sector has a lot of potential and with tourism being the main exporter, all businesses linked to it can diversify and become efficient through the provision of excellent, friendly and timely services to tourists and locals.
