Total Transport

Matt and Heater Purvis began Total Transport in Taupo 27 years ago with two trucks and a willingness to get stuck in and give their clients good service. The company now has 50 trucks, continuing the concept of good service being the foundation of their business. So too is their awareness that they are part of the central North Island community, where they draw the most support from their clientele.

"We chose the rescue helicopter as our major form of sponsorship because our core clientele come from the rural Rotorua-Taupo area, including the forests. Many of these people are in back country areas. Every year some of them are victims of accidents, and the helicopter is the fastest way for them to get help in an emergency," says Matt.

Total Transport recognises the worth of the service in the region, and say that it's good to know that help is there and readily available whenever you need it.
