After some very busy weeks Nic is back in the office for a while. Nic has been in Queensland and Tasmania visiting members and speaking to Ministers and serving on government committees. This week Nic has hit the ground running again, meeting with leadership and business management trainers regarding an offering we hope to have out to you in the coming weeks.
The last month has included a very demanding travel schedule but has yielded some excellent results. At the meeting with the Queensland Treasurer, Nic highlighted the real difficulties and likely issues with the proposed start date to the ethanol mandate. At the Tasmanian Petroleum Products Supply and Emergency Coordination Committee meeting ACAPMA was represented in the high level supply discussions.
Nic has expressed his excitement at meeting up with some members at their businesses recently, and has described these meetings as “very valuable”. He has enjoyed the opportunity to spend time one-on-one with members, discussing their concerns, criticisms, praise and achievements. When Nic visits a member he always asks this question: “What are we [ACAPMA] doing right and what do you want to see us doing?”. The GM Tour will remain a fixture for this year. As Nic’s official travel takes him around the country he will get out and see more and more members and ask this question himself. In the mean time ACAPMA remains your association and would welcome hearing your answers.

Watch this space for a new web page…GM On Tour which will forecast Nic’s location over the next six months so you an track when the GM is coming to a town near you.

The Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association (ACAPMA) believe that calls to get trucks off the road, whilst clearly an emotional response to recent tragedies, fails to recognises the facts of the situation.
“The loss of a life is tragic and an emotional response to this is understandable. We should however allow all the investigations to be completed and the authorities to make the findings public,” ACAPMA General Manager Nic Moulis said. “Governments can then make positive decisions based on the facts.”
