Favourite part of my job would be the people, the people I work with and the people I'm serving. I'm Daniel Stonelead, parts manager at Brant Masterton in New Zealand. First got into AG 10 years ago for an ag company in town. Back home an opportunity arise to come and work for Jean d'. Aycram. So took that opportunity up and found it exciting. And there's always a new challenge every day, which I enjoyed. Support network is large. From service to parts technical support. A lot of stuff happens in the background that people don't really see. Training is always ongoing. There's always something new, something new to learn and become good at.
And the winner of the Parts Technician of the Year for New Zealand is Daniel Stoneleigh from Brandt Masterton.
I really appreciate this award. I think it shows if you're passionate about something, you can accomplish things that you've never previously imagined. I guess it's an inspiration to other people. Now, if people are interested, they can see what they can accomplish. Earlier I didn't know anything about AG and here I am now, so.
