Enzed's business has never been better.

This is what New Zealand “Hose Doctors” have to say about their work.

ENZED offers a uniqu e service that keeps industry Increased job and investment opportunities result fr om the expansion of the ENZED network.

The key to business success is to supply the product that people want, when they want it. The success of Enzed has been the ability to recognise a major need ... fast, reliable replacement of worn or damaged fluid connector lines in industry - then produce the product and provide the service to meet industries’ requirements.

LEADERSHIP IN INDUSTRY Leadership, principally through a unique franchise system, using proven techniques and highly trained personnel, enables Enzed to maximise market penetration with personal service to all customers, at all times. Vitally behind the service is Enzed’s premium product quality. With advanced research and development, sophisticated quality control, and top personnel dedicated to success, every Enzed fitting is of consistent high quality, developed to meet market requirements, and based on state-of-the-art technology. THE ENZED BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY ENZED is an international franchiser dedicated to * total customer service ★ quality without compromise ★ growth and innovation ★ leadership in the industry * teamwork * rewards for results * profit, people and pride in performance HYDRAULICS-THE DRIVING FORCE There are millions of hydraulic lines powering thousands of vital machines in every facet of industry: forestry; mining; factories; transport; agriculture, construction and fishing. Once you become aware of flexible connectors, you’ll see them everywhere. Back hoes, cranes, trucks, cars — even dentists chairs — use flexible connections. No matter where you look, our modem world revolves around them. Their useage is increasing rapidly.

Enzed, establij >hed in 1973, adopted a franc Rising programme in 1981. It is this programme tha t ensures that the Enzed prodi uct and service is available thrc tughout New Zealand. Today, Enzed is New Zealand’s leading producer of fluid connector i md replacement assemblies, providing product and service that is second to none.

THE WAY IT USED T08E... Replacement hoses and fiti tings are carried by many industrial suppliers, as perhaps just one of thot isands of lines. It is impossible for t hese companies to provide their clients with the expertise, product quality, consistent supply, sophisticated marketing, and technical engineering skills. Helicopter services can cos t as much as $1,000.00 per hour. Imagine a helicopter operator being delayed because a vital loading mac hine has blown a hose. Or a factory with a critical production machine where a hose failure blocks an entire assembly line.

ENZED’s UNIQUE ON-THE-SPOT SERVICE Warehouses of hose components are no use to these people and these companies. They need the right hose and the right fittings on the spot. Fast, reliable, service from an expent, who’s only a quick phone call away. Who can be guaranteed to put them back into action - fast. This is exactly the. base of Enzied’s success, and why, among a world of connector manufacturers, it is unique. A phone call to your nearest Eiized connection, locks you in to a personal commitment to top quality and top service, right when it is needed - the product, the availability, the rap'id service, the skills, the customer on-the-spot fitting. ENZED strives to minimise downtime and associated costs through 24 hour, 7 day a week service, with ENZED Hose Doctors providing on-the-spot repairs.

ENZED solves problems IThe New Zealand Fire Service had a problem with the couplings on their high-pressure hoses. An Enzed Service Centre, in conjunction with Enzed’s design office, solved the problem. A new fitting was designed, one that could be coupled and uncoupled easily, and could handle the rough treatment that occurs in the emergency of fire. Enzed Hose Doctors changed every coupling over to the improved Enzed design, with on-the-spot service, and they continue to offer the New Zealand Fire Service a 24-hour a day, 7-day a week back-up service.

2 The Rainbow’s End leisure park had a problem. At 2 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, a vital fluid connector driving a hydraulic pump failed. Their popular log flume ride was out of action. A call to Enzed resulted in a Hose Doctor being on-the-spot within 10 minutes. The ride was fully operational again within one hour.

3 The Royal New Zealand Navy needed a Company to perform fluid connector maintenance oh their 4.5 Gun Turrets. The demand was for an extremely high standard in both product and service. An Auckland Enzed Service Centre carried out this and other Navy work, including engine room, equipment, weapon and mobile plant maintenance within the Navy dockyard at Devonport.

4 The Auckland Hospital needed couplings replaced on their life - saving Dialysis machine. A call to Enzed solved the problem. Enzed carried the coupling they required - a specialist fitting to deliver clean water to the Dialysis machine.

I’ve been operating an ENZED Hose Doctor mobile service for some time now, and I have no regrets. Previously I had worked for a firm of consulting engineers for fourteen years, often doing long hours and showing initiative that was not always rewarded. I answered a newspaper advertisement from ENZED who were looking for owner/operator servicemen. I also looked at various other businesses. After consideration, I appreciated that my first business venture would be much less of a gamble with ENZED’s system and their backing. Now I am doing well financially and the future prospects look even better. However, the job goes further than just money. I also find it rewarding because I get to meet a lot of people. The demand for hose doctors

covers a very wide field, from earthmoving machinery to the boating industry, from fanning to forestry, general industries to schools. Basically there is hardly a ; door you can’t knock on where somebody won’t be glad of your visit.” Paul Barker 44 Up until a few months ago, I had been employed in the heavy engineering business, and had worked in many facets of that business for the previous twenty years. I was looking to get out on my own, and the ENZED concept stood out head and shoulders above anything else on offer. I could see that the ENZED ‘Hose Doctor’ concept

provided a service that was unmatched by any other company. I like being part of a progressive firm and at the same time being able to reap the rewards of my own efforts. By working within the ENZED guidelines, my financial expectations are already ahead ■of my original projections, and it doesn’t look like stopping there. My family are proud to see me in my own business, and we’re starting to enjoy the satisfaction of our achievements ’ Allen Tromp \ 44 After 3 years travel overseas, I returned to New Zealand and worked as a motor mechanic. I decided to get into my own business either as a mechanic or in a related field.

I replied to an Enzed Hose Doctor advertisement for an established Hose Doctor business. What attracted me was the fact that I would be running my own business and that it would suit a person with drive and enthusiasm. This was an opportunity that I did not want to miss. Since I have started, I have steadily built up my business, and the guy I purchased the business from is still working for Enzed, but in a different area. Enzed is the most progressive organisation I have ever worked with, and, although I am running my own business, it’s a good feeling to have the support and back-up that Enzed offers.” ■ Greg Kirkham
