Being a Control Point means that our imported stock will no longer need to stop at Border Control Points at ports as we can now unload, process and undertake our own biosecurity checks.
What does Provender Nurseries becoming a Control Point mean to you as a client?
- Savings in costs to our customers
- A faster and smoother transition of plant imports to Provender Nurseries
- All plants will be unloaded here on site by experienced staff resulting in minimal damage and faster stock turnaround
- We can control costs due to no waiting time incurred at Border Control Points
- Reduced costs in the long run to the business
- Provender Nurseries can import for other businesses in the future
Stuart Tickner, Head of Nursery, Biosecurity & Production says ‘This is a huge asset to Provender Nurseries and the culmination of hard work and effort. We are immensely pleased to be the first trade supply nursery to become a Control Point.’’
‘We can unload our own stock bypassing the Border Control points at ports ensuring all plants are unloaded here at Provender with our own experienced, trained staff that know how to handle plants correctly and can recognise pests and diseases.’
‘Becoming a Control Point has many positives for Provender and will result in faster, smoother transition of plant imports to us, reduced costs and savings in costs to our customers.’
