Hanes Distribution

Why Hanes Distribution

A Stable &
Growing Company.

Hanes Distribution is a New Zealand-based supply, logistics, and distribution business operating across five specialist building material brands — and we are growing. Our Hornby warehouse and Christchurch head office is the operational hub where most of our team is based, and we are always looking for the right people to grow with us.

We are not a large corporate. We are a hands-on, commercially focused team where every person plays a real role in what we deliver to clients. If you want to be a number in a system, we're probably not the right fit. But if you want to understand a business end-to-end, grow your skills, and make a genuine contribution — this is the kind of environment where that happens.

Our team spans operations, logistics, sales, warehousing, and administration — across New Zealand and internationally from our Hong Kong coordination office.

Stable & Growing

We continue to grow across sales, warehousing, logistics, and administration. As we expand our brand portfolio and client base, new opportunities emerge regularly.

🤝

Every role matters here. We value teamwork, responsibility, and people who take pride in what they do — from warehouse floor to client-facing roles.

🎓

Opportunities to develop skills across warehousing, logistics, supply chain, sales, and operations. We encourage internal growth and cross-team learning.

International Exposure

Work across an internationally connected supply chain — engaging with suppliers, freight partners, and coordination teams across Asia and New Zealand.

Our Culture

What We Value
in Our Team.

Reliability Over Everything

We are a supply chain business. Our clients depend on us to show up, follow through, and deliver on what we commit to. The same standard applies internally — if you say you'll do something, you do it. Reliability is not optional here.

Commercial Thinking

We want people who think beyond their job description. Understanding what drives the business, what our clients need, and how your role contributes to the bigger picture is what separates good from great at Hanes Distribution.

Attention to Detail

In logistics and supply chain, the details matter. Wrong quantities, missing documentation, miscommunicated lead times — these things cost clients and damage trust. We hire people who care about getting it right, every time.

Teamwork & Accountability

Small team means everyone pulls their weight. We don't have layers of management to catch mistakes — we rely on every person taking ownership of their area and communicating clearly when things need attention.

A Growth Mindset

We're building something. That means the way things work today will evolve — and we need people who embrace that, bring ideas, adapt quickly, and want to grow alongside the company rather than just maintain the status quo.

Client Focus

Whether you're in the warehouse, on the phone with a client, or preparing documentation — everything ultimately serves our clients. We hire people who understand that and make decisions with that end goal in mind.

Benefits & Perks

What You Get
Working With Us.

💼

Stable Employment

We are a growing business with a long-term outlook. We hire people we want to keep and invest in — not short-term contractors or revolving-door roles.

📚

On-the-Job Training

Whether you're new to supply chain, sales, or warehousing — we invest in getting you up to speed properly. Real training, not a PDF and a sink-or-swim start.

🌱

Career Progression

As the business grows, so do the opportunities. Internal promotions, cross-team moves, and expanded responsibility are how we reward people who perform.

🏢

Modern Working Environment

Our Hornby facility is a clean, well-organised working environment. We take the workspace seriously — because where you work affects how you work.

🤲

Flat & Accessible Team

No bureaucratic layers. You'll work directly with decision-makers and have genuine visibility into how the business runs — rare in most roles at this career stage.

📍

Christchurch Based

Our head office and warehouse are in Hornby, Christchurch — central to Canterbury's construction and logistics sector. Great location with easy access and ample parking.

🎯

Performance Recognition

We notice when people perform. Good work gets acknowledged, rewarded, and built on. We're not a business where effort disappears into a corporate machine.
