HAPPY CLIENTS

Very professional I’ve worked for McCain for 23 years, and with Cherry Hill Coolstores for 20 of those. I have a close working relationship with the whole crew – in particular with Conor, Andrew Langmaid, Wayne and Iris. Cherry Hill Coolstores look after a significant amount of seed for our growers, it’s critical to attain expert management of good quality seed for our growers, precise administration detail and good cutting services. For us, it all starts with good quality seed, so that our growers have the best chance of producing a good yield. I find Cherry Hill Coolstores to be very professional across the board.

‘Can do’ attitude I mainly work with Conor and Wayne at Cherry Hill Coolstores, and I’ve always found Conor to be very obliging. He has a good disposition, a very nice manner, and is truly a people person. I value his lateral thinking to adapt and keep up with the changes and challenges of our industry – he always finds a way to move forward. Wayne has a memory like an elephant and knows this system inside and out. I enjoy his ‘can do’ attitude, and I appreciate how he goes out of his way to help with anything – even the little things.

They’re fantastic. I mostly work with Conor and Andrew L. at Cherry Hill Coolstores (plus the carrot boys), and they’re all fantastic! I’ve found them always willing to help, and take on challenging opportunities – Cherry Hill provides cool storage and washing of carrots, which has enabled continuity of supply to our processing factory, and is a testament of their innovation.

Angus Galloway, Agriculture Manager for Vegetables – Simplot, Devonport Tasmania /

Always reliable. I’ve been working with Cherry Hill Coolstores for 15-years, and have found their processes run smoothly. They have a good facility, do a good job, and are very approachable. I generally deal directly with Wayne Maxwell – Wayne always knows where our seed is and I can examine it at any time. Whenever I’ve had criticism for the cutting of our seed, it’s taken on board and resolved quickly. If we ever run late, Wayne always stays back or works weekends to accommodate our needs. I’ve found Wayne and Cherry Hill to always be reliable.
