Capricorn Group CEO Brad Gannon is excited for the new financial year

The beginning of a new financial year always fills me with optimism about the possibilities in front of Capricorn and the industry as a whole.
This year, we are proud to be celebrating
the United Nations International Year of Co-operatives with the theme ‘Cooperatives build a better world.’
As a board member of the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals (BCCM), I am always proud to celebrate the contribution of cooperatives and mutuals and their important role in protecting and benefiting their members. It’s also a terrific opportunity to reflect on Capricorn’s legacy.
For 51 years, Capricorn has been operating on cooperative principles, ensuring that every decision we make will benefit our Community.
Originally founded by a group of 17 Golden Fleece service station owners in Western Australia, Capricorn has grown to have more than 30,000 Members across Australia and New Zealand.
That legacy of doing what’s right for our Members, our People and Preferred Suppliers hasn’t changed over this time.
As we look towards the next 50 years, we remain committed to listening and adapting for our Community.
Speaking of adapting, last month Capricorn celebrated the launch of its first Ecommerce Partner — JB Hi-Fi Business.
This partnership will make it easy and simple for Members to purchase items they need for their business online via a Capricorn Trade Account, while still getting all the benefits they know and love.
Tickets are now available for Capricorn’s Gala Dinner and Trade Shows. These events bring together people from throughout our industry and the whole Capricorn Community in six different cities. It is a wonderful way to connect and learn from Preferred Suppliers at the Trade Shows and celebrate a fantastic year at the Gala Dinners. I hope to see you there.
