Heya.... Am just wondering if any of you work or knows someone who works at Fonterra (Te Rapa) ?
I got a cousin and his family who live down in Ashburton and they are very keen to move to Hamilton. He has over 11 years experience as Machine Operator and Team Leader, looking after 3 packouts and a robot to stack boxes. Basically if you eat KFC, or buy any of those frozen veggies from the supermarket, all of those come from Talleys. TIP OF THE DAY, it doesn't matter the brand, get the cheapest.. hehe.. They all come from the same machine, same mixer, same everything. I used to be a machine operator there too (many years ago)... ;)
So.... am just trying to meet some worker from Fonterra so I can try to get my cousin in contact with and perhaps get a secure/safe job.

Cheers. Rod
