As National President of the then LAA I became the inaugural Chairman of the SCLAA on its establishment in 2006. Working with my fellow Directors we established the corporate governance framework, embedded the Constitution and established the operating framework that is the strength of this not-for -profit volunteer driven professional Association.

Reporting to the Board of this Joint Venture between Mitre 10 and CPS I led the team that turned a loss making and underperforming new organisation into a profitable customer service driven wholesale business success.

Managed the transition of a high profile outsourced service organisation employing 350 people from financial and operational under-performance to financial and contractual sustainability.

Turned around wholesale logistics operation from declining profitability and service performance to 300% increase in sales volumes and 120% improvement in EBIT to Sales % performance based on effective logistics management and logistics/marketing interface to build profitability based on competitive cost to serve.

21 years national and international experiencing leading complex logistics planning and implementation activities.
