About the real people behind In Uniform
Logan Akers, the driving force behind In Uniform
(NZ) Limited is a professional Fire-fighter, proud to
work in uniform. Based in Lower Hutt he has a wildly
varied and interesting background. Living in both South
America and Antarctica for a year each, experiencing
different cultures and a very different way of life. He has also
travelled for a year with his wife, Keryn, visiting 24
countries in 12 months.
Logan started his first business at 18 - which was
a massive learning experience, but worked most of his
school life - from sweeping forecourts to stacking
veggies. Logan learnt from each experience; customer
service, making things right, getting it right the
first time. Believing in the win-win philosophy he is
determined to enhance the way the 120,000+ uniformed
staff members in New Zealand spend their hard earned
income.
Having spent more than 20 years in retail, before
and since joining the Fire Service, Logan understands
the strain on businesses and particularly on margins in
the current climate.
Kayaking, tramping, skiing, mountain biking and
trail running keep Logan busy when he is not working on
one of many projects.
Our Guiding Principles are:

CardLink Services
CardLink look after the fuel-card side of things and
have worked with me the whole way. I'm not some
corporate giant, just a fire-fighter that know a good
idea when I see one. They have put up with my endless
questions and tiresome efforts to learn new industries.
