🎄🎅🏼 Merry Christmas from Merrett Logging 🎅🏼🎄
The last tree has been cut down,
the last load has been delivered,
and the last machine has been serviced for 2025.
After 1.2M Tonnes of Timber cut and hauled it’s time to park up and say a huge thank you to our incredible team. Your hard work, long hours, and commitment keep our operation moving day in, day out — we couldn’t do it without you. Enjoy a well-earned break.
A massive thank you to our suppliers and partners for your support and reliability throughout the year. Your backing helps us deliver safely and efficiently every day.
As the festive season rolls on, stay safe on the roads, take care of one another, and enjoy the journey wherever it takes you.
From all of us at Merrett Logging, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄
We’ll be back into it on 5th January.
