GPSA welcomes new policy expertise for 2017
Feb 09, 2017
Grain Producers SA has appointed a new full-time policy officer Shane Gale to work with the organisation’s staff, board of grower directors and South Australian grain growers.
Shane brings recent experience in supply chain, procurement, logistics and transport to GPSA.
His previous roles include consulting to mineral exploration and mining, transport and logistics companies and managing operations.
He worked with former South Australian companies SA Cooperative Bulk Handling, Ausbulk and ABB Grain as transport manager for nearly 10 years before managing national logistics for Cheetham Salt, part of the Ridley Corporation.
In recent years, he has worked with several Australian companies nationally on manufacturing, import/export of finished goods, supply chain, logistics or transportation projects.
“It’s great to be coming back to focus solely on the grains industry which is in an exciting period with advances in technology,” Shane said. “My interest is in supply and demand management so I have an affinity with the issues growers are facing in that area, particularly with the high cost of getting grain from farm to port.”
GPSA CEO Darren Arney says with the 2018 State Election fast approaching, Shane’s expertise would be invaluable in a number of issues that GPSA is tackling at a state and national level on behalf of growers.
