As tough as this year has<br />
been, there is no growth<br />
without pain. We are one<br />
step closer to becoming a<br />
100-year company.<br />
In summary<br />
By our own standards and past performance<br />
we are disappointed with this year’s result.<br />
Nevertheless we continue to achieve much<br />
in our efforts to grow this business to be<br />
globally capable and to offer our customers<br />
the best possible levels of high quality<br />
supply chain logistics services.<br />
In terms of performance we are very<br />
focused on improving our levels of sales<br />
penetration across the network, particularly<br />
in our strong growth areas of Asia, USA and<br />
Europe.<br />
In Australia, as our market share grows, we<br />
will be vigilant in developing our levels of<br />
service and selective in the freight profile we<br />
attract to our Domestic distribution business.<br />
Europe continues its re-build process, and<br />
as we develop the <strong>Mainfreight</strong> culture and<br />
disciplines there we are confident of a<br />
higher level of financial contribution.<br />
Our vision remains focused on the long-term<br />
success of <strong>Mainfreight</strong> growing its global<br />
logistics business, and developing products<br />
and services to support our customers<br />
everywhere they need us.<br />
We have many of the best people, who<br />
are passionate and take pride in achieving<br />
success for ourselves and our customers.<br />
This is our 100-year journey, and as tough<br />
as this year has been, we look forward to<br />
the opportunities ahead of us for improved<br />
performance and a better and bigger<br />
business in the future.<br />
Come with us; it’s a helluva ride.<br />
