STEP BY STEP
It’s 1.30pm on a warm October day and Joy Kelly has already done 12 hours out of her 17-hour shift. Despite filling in for their receptionist who was away on her honeymoon, the long shifts are a daily occurrence for Joy and Scott Kelly, who started the container haulage business eight years ago.
Situated at their new premise at western Sydney’s Chester Hill – their office is a converted shipping container – the pair is in the midst of the afternoon rush with phones constantly ringing.
When asked what it’s like managing the business and mountains of paperwork, Joy, 31, is quick to reply: “It’s like having 11 kids.”
Soon after arrival, the pair’s lunch is delivered with Scott apologetically adding “we don’t get out much”.
