The Board wishes to acknowledge the contribution of Denise and Bob as being integral members of the Board through the IPO process and with DGL’s transition from a private to public company.

Both retiring Directors said “that it was an appropriate time to retire, following the release of DGL Group's FY23 results and two full operational years as an ASX entity. The time is now right for the orderly transition process of the composition of the Board which has culminated with today's announcement of Tim & John as incoming Directors”.

Logistics is not in direct competition with DGL, and no conflict of interest will arise between the parties as a result of John’s appointment.

John has and continues to participate in industry bodies and advisory councils including the Australian Trucking Association, the Australian Road Transport Industrial Organisation and National Road Transport association.

John held a seat on the Queensland Rail board for five years and his input continues to be sought from time to time by Government and other advisory bodies or committees.

Mr Peter Lowe, Chairman, said “Denise and Bob’s contribution as board members has been of considerable value to DGL since the IPO including playing a key role in guiding the transition of DGL to a publicly listed group. He also thanked them for the support they have given him as Chairman”. “I also take this opportunity to welcome Tim & John to the Board who bring invaluable industry specific experience to the Group as it continues to evolve since listing in 2021”.
