2022 Impact Off Road Group Field Days, Manawatu

 

It's business as usual at the Impact Off Road Group with momentum carrying on from 2021 into 2022. With big plans on the horizon and some awesome key events throughout the year, 2022 was shaping out to be one for the books. Unfortunately it had become apparent that the after effects after last year's Covid-19 lockdowns, were still being felt throughout the new year.  Being an essential service, we were still able to fully operate during the different levels, following strict protocols which still allowed us to trade and service our customer base. The discussion of this year's Central Districts Field days and the 2022 Field Days, hosted in the Waikato, had slowly crept into the vocabulary of the members at Impact Off Road. Both these Field Days have been and still are, the biggest in field and practical forms of advertising and marketing for us. It's the best form of brand exposure, to brush shoulders, talk and demonstrate to such a huge audience of keen, inquisitive people throughout the three days. First up, the 2022 Central Districts Field Days.

Although excitement had been building for this year's Central Districts Field Days, a sense of content did not take hold because the after effects of last year's major event cancellations were still lingering. We did not want to jump to any conclusion that this year's Central Districts Field Days would be a guarantee. Unfortunately, it was confirmed that the 2022 Central Districts Field Days had been canceled due to the rising number of cases across the country. Although this was a disappointment, it was not a surprise. Back to the drawing board. With the creative minds within our crew, we had decided to go ahead and host our own Impact Field Days down in the Manawatu. We have some really great and generous clients we have had the pleasure of serving, from all walks of life, with different needs and from all over the country.  Our Field Days are being hosted at a private property belonging to one of our clients' friends down in Aokautere, Manawatu. Taking place on the 18-19th March, we will be down in the Manawatu displaying a range of our Impact Quad Trucks, from new to old, demoing just what these Quadtrucks are capable of through our own course. Along with our quad trucks we will also be showcasing our new 4x4 gear and accessories ranging from Maxtrax, Diode Dynamic lights and Outback Exhausts. A new business venture we have undertaken at the Impact Off Road Group, to supply and produce everything off-roading. 


If you are in the Manawatu area or traveling near and far, we look forward to seeing you!

Chris McPhail
Director

The word family has been ingrained alongside the Impact Off Road brand since it’s start date 20 years ago. It has always been a family affair when Brent McPhail laid the foundation over the past two decades for its next successor to have a platform to build off of and make it their own. Chris McPhail, commander and chief of Impact Off Road has taken the reins of the company and launched it into its next stage of progress, growth and evolution. Chris’s early introduction into Impact Off Road was his keen interest in the family business in particular, the automotive industry. His first taste of what life would be like if the opportunity ever yielded itself was when Chris would find himself delivering trucks after his day was completed at school. 2009 saw Chris's integration into the business where his desire for success and keen eye for growth was conceived.

Chris’s passion for business and opportunity has bled into new ventures where he aims to take a hold of the 4x4 Off-roading market across New Zealand. He confidently places his brand in the next 5 years to be a household name in the 4x4 off-roading circuit, making waves as he services the kiwi public and an international audience to the very best parts, accessories and service. Although his attention needs to be divided between his business ventures, Chris still has a firm grip on what has gotten him to the place he is able to operate at now, the humble Impact 4x4 Quadtruck.

Successful leaders practice what they preach, are mindful of their actions and lead by example. From packaging boxes to making executive decisions, delegating responsibilities and being your typical hard working bloke, Chris McPhail possesses qualities that his team can all rally behind for the betterment of the company and make an Impact. Outside of work, Chris enjoys hitting the weights, keeping active, car racing and spending time with his son.

His day to day decision making is based on what will benefit the customer most and that has filtered into his colleagues around him and his family as he is always putting others first before himself.

Ian has been working at Impact Off Road for roughly 2 years and has not looked back since. He loves traveling across New Zealand to show off the Impact Quad Truck on all types of farms, horse studs, valleys and creeks. Outside of work, Ian enjoys spending time with his family and living through his faith.
