Every day on the road is a fresh adventure, with its own distinctive story waiting to be told. What makes this journey special are the people, like Cargo Crew, who play a vital role in supporting the small business ecosystem along the way.
Stop #1
The neighbour everyone wants to be friends with, Neighbourhood Wine is the first stop on the Fit For Purpose journey. Serving the finest drops from their cozy clubhouse and dressed in Cargo Crew’s aprons, it’s the place you want to know about.
Situated in an inner northern suburb of Melbourne, this wine bar prides itself on seasonality and simplicity, creating food with the produce currently in harvest and pairing it with wine that leans to minimal intervention.
Stop #2
Just a short drive from Neighbourhood Wine in Cargo Crew’s Vito is the inspiring team at The Beautiful Bunch, not-for-profit florists who specialise in working with young women from refugee backgrounds.
Their bouquets are made by participants in their training program, helping them showcase their creativity while setting them up for success in future workplaces. The Beautiful Bunch wears Cargo Crew’s customised ‘Beautiful’ Bomber jackets, so they can look as polished as their posies.
Stop #3
Down to the Bellarine Peninsula is where we round off the journey at Bellarine Distillery, whose award-winning gins and whiskeys are admired across Victoria. Sporting custom Cargo Crew ‘Banjo’ shirts, the team looks (almost) as good as their drink offerings.
Other than hosting ‘The Whiskery’, its distillery door, the farmland property supplies botanicals used to create an impressive line-up of unique gins.
Cargo Crew’s Vito.
Cargo Crew needed a van as high quality and high performing as their uniforms, but required some custom features to bring their products to their customers. Turning to Oz Interior by Design, one of the certified members in our new VanPartner program, a whole custom fit-out was designed and installed in their Vito Panel Van.
