Why storage with Johnstons Transport?
Firstly, I wanted to put the brewing equipment into storage for a month or two because I was not quite ready. There are still some things to work through with potential premises. Utilities questions are fairly well sorted out, but there is still the floor to be worked out. A couple of other things also need to be worked out. As well, I wanted to round everything up, re-group and take a deep breath before proceeding. Certainly the hassles of the last couple of weeks have justified this pause.
The choice of Johsntons Transport came down to the fact that not many companies could do what I needed. Plenty of companies could do the transport, others the storage but still how to get the gear off of the truck and into storage? And then how to get it back on for tranport to premises? Just do it all with Johnstons. I also quizzed a couple of customers in the transport industry about Johnstons. The consensus was that Johnstons are “pretty good.” And they have certainly been more than “pretty good”.
There is also another reason for using Johnstons. They have been around for over 100 years. Their “home” depot is in Fitzroy St at Marrickville. If you have lived in the Inner West then you would have probably seen their green trucks. As a former Inner West denizen and cab driver I have been aware of them for a long time. I suppose you could say they are something of a Sydney institution. So it’s nice to do business with them in that respect. It’s an indulgence but it’s fun – like buying cheese from Cyril’s Delicatessen down at Cental.
