What do you do at ANC?

I am a crane truck driver at ANC.

Transport career experience?

I have spent 12 years on the ANC fleet and previously worked as a Pantech truck driver. I have worked on lots of contracts including Telstra, Fuji Xerox and IKEA.

Favourite part of your job?

I like the partnership between ANC and our clients, going to new places every day and meeting new people, particularly the staff and customers at Bunnings.

What do you like to do when you are not working?

Spending time with my family and watching soccer. I am a die-hard Arsenal supporter and love to watch the game regardless of how early. I do not have much free time as I work six days a week, so I’m always with my kids on Sunday.

What do you think delivering extraordinary experiences means?

Safety first and foremost by ensuring the product, customer and everyone is safe. Ensuring we meet Bunnings and the customers’ expectations and everyone is satisfied.

Adam Khammo

What do you do at ANC?

I’m primarily focused on Miele. At ANC, I strive to meet our company and client objectives to obtain customer value by providing a professional delivery experience.

Transport career experience?

I have an accounting background, however I made the decision to switch to the transport industry in 2017. The first year in the industry I worked for a large furniture company where I delivered to stores and other warehouses before making the move over to ANC.

Favourite part of your job?

Knowing that I have made a change to our customer’s day. That means being able to deliver and provide exceptional services by taking care of their purchase from the distribution centre to their home, and the critical last mile piece of installation, which many people would struggle to do on their own. I also enjoy meeting new people and interacting with people at work where it’s a friendly and safe environment.

What do you like to do when you are not working?

Spend time with friends and family. Go out to bars, restaurants and go on new adventures (when COVID conditions allow us). I also play football with the boys.

What do you think delivering extraordinary experiences means?

To me, extraordinary experiences means that you go above and beyond to help customers who need it most and especially those in need. There have been times where I’ve had a delivery for a customer who hadn’t paid for installation but wanted our help. When you see things from a different perspective you see there are people who struggle, trying their best to provide for their family. Sometimes a small act of kindness during the delivery process goes a long way and means the world to these families.

What do you do at ANC?

I’m an Owner Driver delivering for Bunnings, Barbeques Galore and Telstra. I love the variety, from a big barbeque to a box of nails or nine doors.

Transport career experience?

Before joining ANC, I was an Audio-visual Technician working in live events for 10+ years. I worked for international acts touring Australia, the corporate sector and most recently, I spent the past six years in the hospitality sector. My industry got hit hard by COVID. Back in March 2020, within a week my entire calendar became empty as every event was cancelled. I needed to do something and wanted to be in an industry that is customer focused because I enjoy meeting different people and making sure everyone is happy.

Favourite part of your job?

I love being out and about, and every day is different. I get to meet and interact with different people including customers, the team at ANC including other contractor Owner Drivers. What I like most of all are the interactions with the customers who are happy to see you because you’re delivering something they need.

What do you like to do when you’re not working?

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and getting out on the motorbike on a nice day.

What do you think delivering extraordinary experiences mean?

Making sure you meet the expectation of not only the customer but the client you are delivering for. This includes being punctual, well presented and friendly, and always with a smile on your face. You want to leave a positive lasting impression with every customer.

Bernie Wheeler

What do you do at ANC?

I am a Ute Owner Driver in WA, delivering predominately for Bunnings Warehouse. I have been working with ANC since 2016.

Transport career experience?

Prior to becoming a Delivery Professional, my background was quite diverse. After moving to Australia from New Zealand, I was a butcher by trade in the large supermarket chains. I worked my way up to Meat Manager in country WA. We decided to move to Perth when our children were ready to start school, where I took on store management roles. From here I progressed into the corporate offices with a role liaising between the company and suppliers. After reassessing my direction I changed industries and worked for Prime Commercial Laundry supplying to hospitals. After eighteen months, I decided to pursue my interest in becoming an Owner Driver. As they say, things are meant to be. My wife worked next door to ANC and asked about the delivery professional roles available, and here I am today.

Favourite part of your job?

Moving over from the corporate world, I really appreciate being out and about driving in the WA sunshine. My favourite part of the job would have to be delivering to the customer. I am lucky enough to meet a lot of different people each day, everyone has a story to tell, it keeps the days interesting and diverse.

What do you like to do when you’re not working?

I love to spend my time with the family and enjoy a good BBQ with friends. Music is a passion of mine, I enjoy unwinding and listening to old vinyl records on the turntable. Travelling is another way I like to spend my free time now that the children are older, we try and make time to do this as often as possible.

What do you think delivering extraordinary experiences mean?

Being a delivery driver means you are the last drop in the chain. I believe achieving an excellent experience involves always being professional, helpful, reliable and pleasant. As a delivery professional, we have an opportunity to create the all-important lasting impression, not only for ANC but also for our clients.

I am very passionate about family, my pets and staying active and fit. My family life and fitness are a great way to free my mind from work once the day or week is done.

How do you help ANC deliver extraordinary experiences?

Coming from my background as a delivery driver, I really try to put myself in their shoes. I won’t ask a driver to do something that I wouldn’t have done. I help drivers understand how important their role is and believe they should be rewarded for their efforts fairly. Providing the right driver training is vital too. A happy, confident, knowledgeable driver is a key ingredient for a happy customer and extraordinary delivery experience.
