Message from Management 02 Contents Introducing Toll Intermodal The Toll SPD and QRX brands have been with us for a long time, however over recent years it has become more apparent that they do not reflect what either business does, and as such these names mean little to our customers. I am forever being asked what the SPD acronym represents and the two answers I use are Soap Powder Distribution or Speedy Prompt Delivery! When talking to our people and customers, they refer to the name but remember the service, dedication and attitude of the people within the business. Under the Group restructure in January 2010 both Toll SPD and QRX became part of the Toll Domestic Forwarding division. In line with the Group-wide rebrand, and some property and senior management changes, it was considered a good time to bring the two businesses together and rebrand with a fresh new name. So now, Toll SPD and QRX will together be known as Toll intermodal. Brett Curtis, former GM at Toll SPD, is now the General Manager of the business, responsible for the integration. Ex-QRX Group GM Viv Botsford will continue his role at Toll Refrigerated and has taken on the challenge of building and consolidating our dedicated refrigeration businesses including Toll Refrigerated, MFL and Toll Regional Wagga Wagga.

The award is a first class recognition of Toll’s successful operations with Colgate-Palmolive throughout China specifically in our proven excellence in developing and delivering supply chain solutions and services in the region. Through a rigorous selection and nomination process, a panel of nine industry experts on CHaINA’s board of advisors selected Toll Global Logistics over other leading nominees. In the nomination submission, Toll Global Logistics successfully demonstrated the scale, importance and transparency of its Delivery Schedule System (DSS) program started in 2008 for Colgate-Palmolive’s operations in China. The DSS is a joint effort between the customer and Toll’s account management team, which used Toll’s continuous improvement plan model. Some benefits included: n A more structured approach for placing purchase orders n More environmentally friendly back-end operations n Reduced emissions due to better planned delivery schedules, and n Improved efficiencies for the customer’s field sales team in China. ‘Asia’s Best 3PL Supply Chain Provider’ Award TOLL’S GLoBaL LoGiSTiCS DIvISION HAS BEEN awaRDED THE GLOBAL SuPPLy CHAIN COuNCIL’S AWArD FOr BEST THiRD PaRTy LoGiSTiCS (3PL) SuPPLy CHAIN PrOvIDEr in aSia.

Introducing <strong>Toll</strong> Intermodal<br />
The <strong>Toll</strong> SPD and QRX brands<br />
have been with us for a long<br />
time, however over recent years<br />
it has become more apparent that<br />
they do not reflect what either business<br />
does, and as such these names<br />
mean little to our customers. I am<br />
forever being asked what the SPD<br />
acronym represents and the two<br />
answers I use are Soap Powder<br />
Distribution or Speedy Prompt<br />
Delivery! When talking to our<br />
people and customers, they<br />
refer to the name but<br />
remember the service,<br />
dedication and attitude of the<br />
people within the business.<br />
Under the <strong>Group</strong> restructure<br />
in January 2010 both <strong>Toll</strong><br />
SPD and QRX became part<br />
of the <strong>Toll</strong> Domestic<br />
Forwarding division. In line<br />
with the <strong>Group</strong>-wide rebrand,<br />
and some property and senior<br />
management changes, it was<br />
considered a good time to bring<br />
the two businesses together and<br />
rebrand with a fresh new name.<br />
So now, <strong>Toll</strong> SPD and QRX<br />
will together be known as <strong>Toll</strong><br />
intermodal. Brett Curtis, former<br />
GM at <strong>Toll</strong> SPD, is now the General<br />
Manager of the business, responsible<br />
