16 February 2018 | Gary Crocker, Chairman, Allwood Stud Farm 2018 SA Yearling Sale Committee
Like many Harness Racing fans, I love companies that walk the talk and at the bottom of the page you will see the mission and values statement of Avis rental cars.
The immensely friendly team at Avis that are based out of the Adelaide airport are not only meeting the standards set by head office they are exceeding them.
As news started filtering around about the creation of Australia’s Greatest Value Race Series and the possibilities of South Australia running a special restricted boutique sale that would have the highest level of transparency and integrity, the team at AVIS were on the front foot looking at ways they couldcontribute to this exciting event that was taking Harness Racing by storm. As soon as the events coordinator landed in Adelaide he was greeted by a very professional, courteous and helpful lady that had a brand new Toyota Kluger ready for his use. This very kind and well appreciated gift made therunning of this exceptional event even better. Harness Racing in South Australia seems to on a real upswing at the moment and when we have such tremendous support from outstanding organisations like AVIS the future is looking much brighter than things were just 15 months ago.
Big companies like AVIS must get over-run with requests for help and sponsorship, I believe it’s important that we the harness racing fans should also make an effort to look out for these forward thinking companies and make them a priority when booking services like hire cars.
So if any reading this is and you are heading to Adelaide soon please ring the friendly and very helpful team on 08 8154 2444 and tell them, the team at “Allwood” are also walking the talk.
