MANAGEMENT

Bob Buckley, a long-standing and highly valued Wesfarmers employee, retired as Managing Director of the insurance division at the end of the financial year. He has been replaced by Robert Scott who was appointed Deputy Managing Director in February 2007. On behalf of the company I extend my thanks to Bob Buckley for his excellent service as I do to the Assistant Company Secretary, Paul Gardiner, who retired in March 2007 after a long and distinguished career with Wesfarmers.
