Dear Members and Guests,
RE: EXCITING NEW WORKING ARRANGEMENT FOR THE NTBIC AND NTLEA
I am excited to announce that the NT Buffalo Industry Council (NTBIC) has come to an agreement with the NT Livestock Exporters Association (NTLEA) which will see Tom Dawkins, NTLEA’s CEO (see photo) take on additional responsibilities as Executive Officer of the NTBIC. I wish to thank both Presidents, Adrian Phillips and David Warriner, for their foresight and openness to strengthening industry partnerships with a focus on growth of the buffalo industry through this arrangement.
Tom comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience across the livestock industry.
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of those who have advised and guided me since stepping into the role for a few months back in 2016. (How time flies.)
I am especially grateful to all of the Members, Board Members and Presidents over the past five years including Angus Fleming, Ian Bradford, Michael Swart and Adrian Phillips who have been extremely generous with their time in supporting me to support the buffalo industry. Whilst I am leaving the NTBIC in very capable hands I am continuing in my role with the NT Road Transport Association.
I have a few outstanding matters to complete and will keep my phone number – 0400 107 223. Tom Dawkins can be contacted on 0476 685 324. If you have any queries or would like to discuss this working arrangement in more detail please don’t hesitate either Tom or me.
I sincerely hope it is a bumper year for buffalo exports and buffalo through the abattoir and that everyone is able to share in the industry’s success.
With respect,
Louise Bilato
