Debbie Oakley

Debbie Oakley represents Breadcraft and Cottage Lane in the South Island and lives in Christchurch. Consequently the last 12 months have been particularly challenging for Debbie with major earthquake disruption, being left homeless along with her family for a good many months and having to cope with customers who have, in turn, had their normal business operations disrupted.
Throughout this time, Debbie had never once let anything get out of hand and has continued to support and grow the company business and reputation in her area, often going to extreme lengths to ensure her customer’s requirements are met and surpassed. On top of her normal duties, Debbie and husband Hamish have traveled the South Island running demonstrations and promotions to both local and international customers and we recently received a call from one customer who was that impressed with Debbie’s service and support, that they called our office to ensure we new how much Debbie was appreciated. |
