WA Member Wins Prestigious Award

Last Updated on Monday, 29 August 2011 21:16

Some good news for our member, Don Wallis, formerly from Canberra, ACT and now based in Geraldton, Western Australia.

In January this year, Don was nominated for the WA Trainer of the year with the WA Logistics Training Council. (http://www.logisticstc.asn.au/)

In mid March, Don was informed that he was selected as a finalist for the award. On Thursday 24/03/2011 he attended the award ceremony in Perth and was awarded the WA Logistics Training Council award for "Trainer of the Year".  He was up against some very high calibre nominations across a range of disciplines including rail, aviation, maritime, road transport and warehousing.

This is Dons 10^th year as a professional trainer and it is a great achievement for him.

Don has tried to attend as many TRANZnet conferences as possible, but our next will be a bit of a challenge as he has moved to Geraldton, where he worked for Mitchell Logistics. They were recently acquired by Toll Resources so by default, Don is now working for Toll for the 3^rd time in his transport career. Hopefully this win will help in persuading Toll to cover Don for the round trip to the Sunshine Coast.

 Well done Don - from all of your TRANZnet colleagues!
