Southpac Trucks Conference and Awards Ceremony
This event was a stunning success. The team at Transport World guided the process from start to finish and it all seemed to come together effortlessly. We found the venue set up absolutely impeccable - they even went above and beyond to display two of our heavy trucks inside! The suppliers they recommend are as polished as their transport museum! With this crew you really get the full package - the food, the band, the staff, the atmosphere, all a 10 out of 10. We were thoroughly impressed and happily recommend Transport World as a truly unique and high quality conference and events venue.

TESTIMONIALS
Sarah and Mike’s Wedding
We held our surprise wedding at the truck museum and what an amazing venue it was. The planning with Adam was faultless he was so accommodating and had all details down to a fine art. On the night we had Maree and her team and they were brilliant they ensured our guests were well looked after and ensured our night ran smoothly. This is one amazing venue and we felt honoured to be able to use Bill’s Shed and we would highly recommend this team and venue.
– Sarah Fallow, Bride
The New Zealand Dairy AwardsWe had the pleasure of recently working with the team at the Transport World to put on a dinner for over 500 people. They were very supportive and knowledgeable and the information given to me and our regional team helped us make the right decisions. The venue is an excellent venue for large dinners and the atmosphere with all the old vehicles makes it a one off for the South. They exceeded our requirements, especially with the food and support from event staff. I know we could not have had such a fantastic awards dinner without their valuable assistance. They were a delight to work with and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of having a function in Invercargill.
