CPC HONOURS EXCELLENCE AT AWARDS DINNER IN BRISBANE Brisbane played host to a night of celebration and recognition as we held our Awards Dinner recently. Following several days of collaboration at the Manager’s Conference. the evening highlighted the dedication, resilience, and teamwork of the CPC teams, aligning with the company’s core values of Safety and Welfare, Leadership, Community, Trust, Value Creation and Sustainability. Safety remains a fundamental value of CPC’s operations, and this year, Allawah Station was awarded the Team Safety Award in recognition of its outstanding commitment to safety. Station Manager David Young proudly accepted the accolade on behalf of his team, celebrating their proactive approach to ensuring a secure environment for people and animals. The Teamwork Award was presented to Dungowan Station, with Station Managers Jeremy Scott and Kate Murphy accepting the honour. This award recognises their culture of positivity, leadership at all levels, and a strong sense of pride in both CPC and their station. For outstanding business performance, Wrotham Park Station took home the coveted Business of the Year Award, with Simon Cobb receiving the award. His efforts in delivering top financial results, improved turnoff weights, and operational efficiencies were widely applauded. A special recognition award was given to CPC’s and Dicky Adiwoso’ s joint venture Indonesian feedlot and farming business JJAA for Outstanding Performance, celebrating their significant contributions to CPC’s success over many years. The event also marked the retirement of Jack Lake, who has served as CPC’s Government Liaison Adviser for the past 13 years. A highly respected figure in agricultural policy, Jack previously held senior advisory roles in numerous governments on both sides of politics including the Hawke, Keating, Gillard, and Rudd Governments. His deep industry knowledge and expertise have been invaluable to CPC. Troy Setter (CEO) acknowledged the challenges faced in 2024, including fires, floods, tightening terms of trade, and commended the resilience and dedication of the team for overcoming these challenges. The CPC team has done an outstanding job in the last year maximising sales and operational performance, converting close to another 10,000 ha of land from cattle to cropping, developing new real and tangible natural capital projects, and supporting our local communities. Troy announced that the CPC team member's choice award for the team member who best lived CPC’s values each year would be renamed as the ‘Dave Shearer Award’. The CPC team were shocked to lose Dave Shearer in late 2024. Dave was a long-term manager with CPC who lived CPC’s values every day. The Dinner highlighted the strength of its people, reinforcing CPC’s commitment to fostering a culture of excellence in Australia’s pastoral industry. #conpastco #awards #news #team #agriculture #work #team #northernterritory #queensland #safety #leadership
