Windsor Park Stud

NZ Premiere Blood Stock Thoroughbred Horses

On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, after a long day out delivering new Impact Quad Trucks over in Tauranga to their eagerly awaiting owners, we headed off to Cambridge in the Waikato to deliver a 2021 Daihatsu Hijet, Custom Heavy Duty Tipper to Rodney and his team at Windsor Park Stud. Windsor park is one of the premiere horse breeding establishments in Cambridge, Waikato. In the photo above, stands towering, our 6’ 3” salesman, Cameron Barr, handing the keys over to owner Rodney Schick. The famed Waikato region of New Zealand provides a year round environment that has enabled Windsor Park Stud to successfully breed and raise great thoroughbred racehorses for more than 30 years.  Windsor Park Stud is owned by Nelson and Sue Schick and their son Rodney, who manages the day to day operations on the farm.  Major expansion has seen the purchase of neighboring farms so that the main Kaipaki Road farm of Windsor Park now totals over 500 acres. With the purchase of the 300 acre Halidon Hill farm just east of Cambridge in 1993, the current Windsor Park operation encompasses more than 1300 acres of prime farmland on three separate properties. Windsor Park is acknowledged as one of Australasia's leading thoroughbred nurseries and provides excellent all-year round facilities for its horses with a carefully worked out farm management program which ensures maximum pasture utilization.

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.
