The Team's Board Report - Mainfreight

6
• The introduction of our first ChemCourier
vehicles.
• The establishment of our Logic brand which
offers customers a completely managed
process for all supply chain services even those
that are not current Mainfreight capabilities.
• The way our Metro branches led by Chris, Craig
and Rifet have geared up and overcome the
extremely difficult implementation of several
new large volume customers.
• The much improved profit performance from our
Sony branch, and the way Dan and his team
dealt with the volume increase as a result of the
release of Sony’s new product range in the lead
up to Christmas.
• The contribution that our ever-increasing
number of young graduates are making to the
business.
• The great success of our Sales cadet
programme which has seen our first sales
manager appointment, Steve Turner, in
Brisbane.
Five things to do better in 2008
1. Improve our linehaul arrival and departure times.
2. Make the presentation of our brand in terms of
our branches, team and vehicles the best in the
industry.
3. Strive to make dealing with Mainfreight as easy
as possible for our customers.
4. Help make our business a great place to work
by always being positive and always striving to
create a “get it right the first time” culture.
5. Try to approach all tasks each day with some
real pace and energy.
Our simple philosophy has always been that the
quality of our service will determine the degree
of success and significance we will achieve as
a business and as individuals. Congratulations
and thank you to every member of our team who
have really taken this belief to heart and helped to
produce some excellent results.
We look forward to the next few years with much
anticipation.
Merry Christmas from the Mainfreight
Distribution team.
