Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for the AfMA Tasmania Connect event in Hobart.

It was wonderful to see the Tasmanian fleet community come together to connect, share ideas and strengthen the relationships that make our industry stronger.

A special thank you to our Tasmanian Committee, Nick Stowe, Paul McShane, Luke Mitchell and Lia-Jane Whelan for their dedication and hard work in bringing this event to life. Your efforts behind the scenes are genuinely appreciated.

The strength of AfMA has always been its people, and events like these remind us of the value of coming together as an industry.

We look forward to continuing the conversation at our Professional Development Forums in Hobart on 27 October and Launceston on 28 October. If you know a fleet professional who would benefit from attending, we encourage you to invite them along.

• David Beck, Director at Datum Road Safety
• Kym Hill, Fleet Safety Professional at SA Water
• Michael Mills, Director at FleetGuru
• Nick Stowe, Fleet & Safety Professional at Hydro Tasmania
