I've had trips into the Footy field for years, and regard them as some of the most memorable trips of my life. The country, the deer, the mates - it's all been fantastic, and I was looking forward to more to come.
Unfortunately, Helisika have covered themselves in something over the Waipakihi road deal, and it isn't glory. I'll not use them again, and it pains me to say it, but unless they use their influence as a partner in this venture to facilitate public access to the road - and given their communications so far they don't seem at all interested in doing so, I'm done with them.
I don't think the loss of my business is going to hurt Helisika, and I doubt Mr Orr is concerned about my one trip a year. This sort of publicity is poison for a business though, and I hope is not going to be a one week wonder.
One very important lesson I have learned owning a business is that if you do a good job the client might tell one person - or might not. Do a bad job, and they'll tell everybody they know.
Tell everybody you know.
