Reuben Thickpenny

Director

Having been owner of TotalEnergies New Zealand since its inception in 2004, Reuben had a clear vision for the business from day one. “Where other suppliers focussed on reducing stock and service, we have been driving product diversity and the highest level of service since day one.” This has not gone unnoticed.
“As the director of TotalEnergies New Zealand, I consider our company culture to being at the heart of what we do. Nationwide, we are a tight team of customer focussed, good people with great skills and attitude. It is what our customers come for, and it’s what they stay for.”

``I make sure that who we are as a business, is reflected throughout our every communication. The extensive oil and lubricant range of our partner Total is only half of our offering. The added value we offer customers really is that unique mix of customer service and expertise across the business. The challenges our customers face, are our challenges. My role at TotalEnergies New Zealand is to keep our operations running smoothly, from Technical to Marketing and Logistics – so that our customers operations do as well.”
