Laurent Contractors Ltd -The new face of the industry

When we look at the transport industry and its aging work force it is not hard to realise the problems that this is now presenting and the far-reaching implications it will have. So, when we were asked to visit a transport company run by some keen young men, how could we refuse? Laurent Contractors Ltd, Waharoa is owned and operated by Vaughan and Grayson Laurent alongside their wives Dani and Larissa. These young people epitomise the young face of transport, yet they are also some of the few taking the reins in the punishing world of road transport. Simon Vincent went to the Waikato to find out first hand just what drives these hardworking young people.
