🌧RAIN, RAIN & MORE RAIN - yes, our weather patterns are changing, with an active Tasman, bringing northerly and easterly rain chances over the next 7 days.

We are looking to hire a full time qualified motorcycle / motor mechanic to service and repair farmbikes, side by side units, motoX bikes and everything in between.

On offer is a competitive pay rate and the opportunity to join a fun team in a family business. Our staff have been with us 7+ years.

Our workshop is based in rural Balcairn. (If you don't know where that is, you're probably not who we are looking for.)

If you know anyone who might be interested, please give Stu a call on 0272055724 for a confidential chat 📞

After watching the Fair Go episode a month ago featuring Jack's story about paying $900 for a bike and not receiving either a bike or refund, we knew we had to help restore his faith in humans 👌
We want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT and THANK YOU to the legends that helped make this possible.
🚚 John at South Island Couriers Ltd
✂️ Murray and the team at Motivation deSign
🚛 Mike and Hilary at H & H Couriers and Transport
🛠️ Justin Neill Engineering Ltd
🔩 Nd Upholstery
And of course our fantastic team at Farmbike Services North Canterbury Ltd for making sure the bike was serviced, safe and ready to go! 🔧
- Stu and Leese Rogers 👋

Fair Go viewers were incensed after learning of Jack Miller’s hard luck story and missing $900.
