Matt has been in agricultural transport for over 20 years. There is virtually no commodity that he has not managed the logistics on, but by far the bulk of his experience has been in grains, fertiliser and other commodities.
Matt also knows the eastern states extremely well. From Millmerran to Mudgee, the Malley to Mundulla, Matt knows all the major crops, storages, and ports – he knows how the grain should flow.
Similarly, Matt also knows many people and maintains excellent relationships with growers across the country. These relationships and knowledge are a form of market intelligence that can’t be created any other way and is one that buyers find most valuable.
