Red Cat Adventures Director Asher Telford and Bowen Gumlu Growers Association General Manager Ry Collins have been appointed as directors to the Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3) Board, offering industry diversity to a strong business group.
Mr Telford and Mr Collins joins GW3 Chair Mr Tony Caruso and six other directors on the board to guide the strategic outcomes for the Greater Whitsunday economic development organisation.
GW3 Chair Mr Tony Caruso said Mr Telford and Mr Collins, were strong candidates to fill the positions on the board, and said it was important that the board remains fresh and dynamic to offer a broad range of industry experience and skills expertise.
“Asher, a professional Mariner by trade, found a passion in building and delivering quality marine tourism experiences and for the past eleven years has been building Red Cat Adventures to become a nationally award-winning company,” Mr Caruso said.
“Asher is one of our region’s change champions, who uses the latest technology to build one-of-a-kind boats that provide equally as impressive tourism experiences.
“Ry is the General Manager of Bowen Gumlu Growers Association and is a well-known and strategic industry leader who champions the valuable horticulture sector across our region,” Mr Caruso added.
“Ry has had a diverse career across a number of different industries in the private and public sectors including agriculture and construction and we are excited to have those skills on the GW3 board.”
Mr Caruso said in the past 12 months the GW3 board has undertaken a comprehensive rewrite of its strategy and developed a clear and concise plan well understood and supported by our key stakeholders.
“Key elements of our strategy will focus on making agriculture and aquaculture cornerstone sectors of our regional economy and rebuilding our tourism sector following several tough years.
“Ry and Asher will help guide GW3 to achieve this with their industry knowledge and passion,” Mr Caruso said.
