Delivering from day dot

Stepping up to delivering since the 1980s.

From small potatoes to nationwide logistics 

It all began with Craig and Trevor’s dad Graham Booth who owned a potato farm. It was the challenge to get the produce to market that sparked a passion for delivery. And that passion just kept growing.

In the last five years, Booth’s has grown from 50 trucks to over 400. From 80 staff to over 800. From Palmy, Taupo and Tauranga, to Northland, Southland and all the bits in between.

Growing organically to meet demand

Graham Booth begins a low-key transport business as an extension of his Manawatu farm, using two trucks to locate his potatoes and other produce to markets.

Graham’s two trucks turn to five, and son Craig starts to get involved with the driving.
