The Board is also pleased to report the election of Mr. Paul Blake (Cloud Global) to Chairman of the Australian Peak Shippers Association. Paul is an experienced international trade professional who will bring a wealth of experience and integrity to the role. Paul will be joined by Goran Miljanic (Visy Industries) as the inaugural Treasurer of the Association.  We would also like to acknowledge our outgoing Directors, Mrs. Sue Perry (Murray-Gouburn) and Mr. Taylor Hall (Valley Pack) for their contribution to the Board in 2016. Sue has been an APSA Director for 17 years, originally representing Dairy Australia, and she will be sorely missed.
