Mainfreight Group’s structure is focused on its core competencies – domestic distribution, international sea and air freight forwarding, warehousing and supply chain management.
These operations are located in New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Asia.
Each division within each country has a National Manager who reports directly to the Group Managing Director. Each joint venture or subsidiary has at least one Company Director on the Board of that business.
The Board is responsible for the proper direction and control of Mainfreight Group’s activities. This responsibility includes such areas as the identification and control of business risks, the integrity of management information systems and reporting to shareholders.
The Board currently comprises eight Directors – an Executive Chairman, a Group Managing Director and six Directors, five of whom are independent.
The Directors hold five Board Meetings per year over two-day periods at locations of interest and concern to the Group, throughout Australia and New Zealand. At the close of day one of each meeting, customers and/or our team are invited to meet Directors and management.
Day-to-day running of the company is delegated to the Group Managing Director and Executive Chairman.
Financial statements are prepared monthly in conjunction with the weekly profit and loss statements generated at branch level.
