Doing Business in the Fast Lane<br />

Taking valued customers or potential clients to a<br />

V8 race is a great way to impress. Not only can you<br />

<strong>Toll</strong> Holden Racing Team, you are able to offer unrivalled<br />

hospitality and one-off experiences to your guests.<br />

australian Sports Marketing (aSM), the official provider<br />

of V8 Supercar hospitality, tours and events to the <strong>Toll</strong><br />

Holden Racing Team has just announced its calendar of<br />

Staff Show Support<br />

for Men’s Health<br />

During Movember<br />

Since November 2003, Movember as it is now known,<br />

is the month where men around the world put stops<br />

to their daily grooming habits and grow (or at least try<br />

to) a moustache or mo!<br />

With over a quarter of a million men worldwide swapping<br />

their cleanly shaven top lips for a month of stubble rashes<br />

and ridicule, there were certainly going to be a few <strong>Toll</strong><br />

employees up for the challenge.<br />

From <strong>Toll</strong> Corporate, Peter Petito and Mark Jones got<br />

involved and together raised over A$900. As well as taking<br />

great pleasure in updating their mospace sites with their<br />

numerous facial hair creations, the guys held a morning tea<br />

at the end of the month to educate staff about the serious<br />

messages of Movember.<br />

The team at <strong>Toll</strong> Linehaul were also spirited in getting involved,<br />

with Danny Brady finally parting with his trademark mo<br />

of 25 years. In the top 0.02 percent of Movember<br />

fundraisers in Australia, Danny collected A$2,800 from his<br />

colleagues and customers at <strong>Toll</strong> Linehaul which the<br />

business unit matched dollar for dollar.<br />

His efforts were so impressive that Divisional Director<br />

Mal Grimmond, together with John Venetsanos,<br />

Larry o’Regan and David wright were on hand to each<br />

shave off Danny’s mo at the end of the month.<br />

Aside from giving men a chance to re-live the 70s without<br />

too much humiliation, Movember has a serious message<br />

behind it. The month is dedicated to raising vital funds and<br />

awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer<br />

and depression.<br />

As men are traditionally less likely to talk about their health<br />

concerns and visit a doctor than women, the month deals<br />

There, guests will have VIP access to all things <strong>Toll</strong> HRT<br />

including pit tours, merchandise, hospitality and race tickets.<br />

In addition to this, ASM can assist with accommodation<br />

and travel to all V8 events and races.<br />
