FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ABS Heywood and Mt. Gambier Branch ManagementAlbury, NSW - April 24, 2006 - ABS Australia is pleased to announce that Tony Jackson has been appointed Branch Manager of their Heywood and Mt. Gambier branches effective immediately. Born and raised on a dairy farm, Jackson completed a dairy apprenticeship after leaving school and share farmed before beginning to work for Heywood AB in 1997. He became an ABS employee in December 2004 when ABS Australia acquired Heywood AB. Initially appointed Heywood Branch Manager in January 2006, the decision to add Mt. Gambier to his portfolio is logical due to the amount of overlap between the Heywood and Mt. Gambier business operations. “I am looking forward to an exciting new era for our business, and the livestock industry” Tony said. “We have an enthusiastic, committed team at both locations and it is our objective to continue providing high quality service and products to our customers. With the support of ABS we also expect to offer some new products and services to our clients in the near future!” Tony and his wife Leighann have two children, Meghan, 11 and Daniel, 9. Both Tony and Leighann are heavily involved in the Tyrendarra football club, where Leighann is a life member. “We are extremely excited that Tony has accepted this appointment” stated Steve Fried, GM of ABS Australia. “Tony is a “hands-on” manager who is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get the job done! He has a practical approach to management, excellent communication with staff and customers and has earned the respect of everyone he interacts with.” Based in Albury, NSW, ABS Australia is a subsidiary of Genus plc, the largest supplier of bovine genetics and related reproductive products in the world.
