SORTING OUT LOGISTICS SINCE 2011
Emerging from the adversity posed by the Christchurch earthquakes, Sorted has been making history since 2011. We understand the logistics market and are dedicated to delivering excellence in everything we do, for our people and our customers. We embrace bold thinking and are unafraid to challenge the status quo.
We know we are different, and we are confident Sorted Logistics is the best.

LOGISTICS SERVED IN STYLE
Sorted’s journey began in the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011, when Kris Webster was forced to relocate his gumboot factory, Sandford Industries.
After evaluating 23 potential sites around Christchurch, the only viable option to support the power supply for the manufacturing plant was a 1700m² warehouse, three times larger than necessary.
Kris fell back on his knowledge working in the logistics industry and saw an opportunity – warehousing.
That opportunity grew quickly. In 2014 Rewi Te Whatu joined Kris, and the business continued to flourish and began establishing itself with a strong reputation and disrupting the traditional logistics mindset.
Kris and Rewi are not only passionate about warehousing and transport but also offering clients a comprehensive supply chain solution.
In September 2015, Sorted acquired WA Brown, a long-established medium-sized logistics and transport company. This merger gave Sorted the ability to offer an end to end solution from import to storage to end delivery .
Today, Sorted Logistics employs approximately 220 people in Christchurch and Auckland. We operate from new purpose-built facilities and maintain our own modern fleet of trucks, swing lifts and MHE. We supplement our services by collaborating with trusted industry partners.
We provide exceptional and personalised supply chain solutions to each of our clients and are committed to building long-lasting relationships internally and externally.
Our focus is not only on delivering excellence to our customers, but also enhancing logistics solutions to the best of our ability.
We do this with integrity and dedication, and by adhering to traditional values and an unparalleled work ethic.
We call it The Sorted Way.
WE ARE ON A MISSION
Honesty, pride, and respect have always been, and will continue to be, the core values of our business. Our team's dedication to building strong relationships, delivering exceptional service, and providing outstanding value is the key to our success. We foster a positive and fun environment that promotes trust, well-being, and growth, both professionally and personally.
KEEPING OUR MATES SAFE
Our people are the driving force of our business, ensuring they return happy and safe to their families after a hard day’s work is our highest priority. Sorted has developed our own Health and Safety brand KOMS ‘Keeping Our Mates Safe’, turning our commitment to safety into a promise. Everyone who works for us becomes a part of this promise and watches out for their team mates. To us everyone is equal and this plays an integral part in our Sorted family dynamic.
