FEATURE: Aratuna Freighters Ltd


From the Coast to the South Island and beyond

Andrew Havill and his wife Monique, part-owners of Aratuna Freighters, have plenty to celebrate in this 34th year of the company’s operation.

Andrew and Monique Havill hold the reins these days while Durham and Lorraine, who founded the company in 1985 along with son Andrew, remain committed to the company.

Today, Aratuna’s trucks can be seen all over the South Island and even in the North Island.

This week Andrew Havill talks about the relationship between Aratuna and Ballance Agri-Nutrients – a New Zealand, farmer-owned co-operative that provides its customers with the means to productively manage their land.
