Toll Remote Logistics
keeping the Tour de Timor
on course
Toll remote logistics was proud to play a large part in
the second Tour de Timor cycle race last year.
as the main logistics provider in Timor leste, we were able to
provide an end-to-end logistics solution to enable this event to
run successfully despite the challenges of its remote location.
Catering manager, Catherine Byrne, (pictured), managed
Toll remote logistics’ support operation, coordinating the
delivery of catering for the entire event.
The operation started in australia with the procurement of
supplies by Toll remote logistics’ Darwin supply chain office.
These were then transported to Timor leste by air and seafreight.
meanwhile, four field kitchens were being mobilised in different
locations around the race circuit. menus were also being
prepared to meet the varied requirements of the contestants
and support crews.
once the race began, Toll remote logistics’
staff provided more than 2000 breakfasts,
lunches and dinners per day to feed the
riders, support personnel, race officials,
medics, physios and local volunteers.
such was the success of Toll remote logistics’
effort, that Catherine and her team were awarded the medal of
solidarity by the president of Timor leste, Dr Jose Ramos Horta.
The award certificate was inscribed: “ms Catherine Byrne is
to be commended for her professionalism, resourcefulness,
positive attitude and commitment throughout the 2010 Dili ‘City
of peace’ events, particularly for her extraordinary personal
contribution to the 2010 Tour de Timor.”
Toll remote logistics is proud of the efforts of Catherine and
her team, and we are looking forward to Tour de Timor 2011. <
