A new business has taken over the distribution of the Mailbox Shopper and from everyone here in the editorial and advertising team, we’d like to welcome them on board!

Atareta Kani and Raniera Whare from R&A Distributors said saw this venture as an opportunity.

“We only had a few days to decide whether we would carry it on. We thought to ourselves ‘we are hard, working we can do this’. Then (we) decided yes and looked at it with a positive and determined outlook and knew we could achieve this,” Ms Kani said.

“Although realising like anything it may take some time to get systems running smoothly and just hope everyone will understand as we strive to achieve our best for upcoming exciting new goals we have for R&A Distributors.”

ALSO MAKING NEWS:

Ms Kani said R&A Distributors have enjoyed getting to know the many walkers.

“We have enjoyed all the support and positive appreciation we have received also not some so good, but it teaches us where we can achieve more and grow to be better hopefully,” she said.

Ms Kani and Ms Whare were previous walkers and never thought of taking over the distribution side of the business.

“There are a few changes we are excited about bringing in to R&A Distributors, but until they are confirmed I can’t wait to share that news with everyone,” Ms Kani said.

“I hope the new year brings lots of happy shopper readers and possibly a lot more permanent deliverers.”
