News On Rankin Takes Over From Nocks

July 7, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

The team at News on Rankin are looking forward to be offering the same great, friendly service shoppers have enjoyed from long serving local newsagents Ken and Margaret Nock.

Following an announcement last week that the Nock’s would be closing their Lachlan Street store, the News on Rankin team will continue to service the distribution areas of South Forbes as well as their current North Forbes territory.

“We’re excited to be welcoming Kerry Stephenson, who has delivered the papers for the Nocks for close to a decade, to our team,” said Gabe McMillan, News on Rankin owner. “Kerry will be continuing the service to all South Forbes residents and sub agents.”

The team at News on Rankin are working hard to ensure a smooth transition for all customers as they embark on a new chapter for the Rankin Street business, as well as ensuring services continue as usual for the Forbes community.

“I would love to take this opportunity to thank Ken and Margaret for their contribution to our industry over the past 30 years as well as their commitment to the business community of Forbes for this time,” Gabe said. “It’s been an absolute pleasure to be dealing over the years both as a customer as well as business associate.”

“Ken and Margaret have offered a wonderful service to their clients for a long time and I want to ensure that with my team we continue to offer excellent customer service,” said Gabe. “I encourage anyone with queries to contact myself or one of my team and we will be more than happy to answer any questions for customers.”
