Video

After searching through quite a lot of video's on YouTube, I have finally come up with a good one about MaxiParts. MaxiParts is the new name for well known truck parts and equipment retailers; Colrain, Queensland Diesel Spares and Gladstone Air Cleaner Services. MaxiParts is 100% owned by MaxiTrans, Australia's largest manufacturer and supplier of trailing transport equipment and solutions.

I hope you enjoy the show!!!

MaxiTRANS Slashes Guidance.

Road transport equipment group Maxitrans Industries has slashed its profit guidance, in bad news for the company’s share price.

Maxitrans said on Wednesday that its profit would now be significantly lower than the guidance provided when the company delivered its interim result in February.In terms of Maxitrans’ diversified operations, the domestic market for trailers and vans has held up reasonably well, but sales of tippers across all of its brands have not shown any signs of improvement since the half year and order intake has softened further.

Maxitrans is also experiencing difficulties with its China joint venture, despite strong demand for its products. The breadth and depth of the issues facing the company suggests 2014-15 consensus forecasts which pointed to earnings per share growth of 17.4 per cent are also likely to be revised downwards.

Blog 2: Megan Sciani - Payce Consolidation 

I loved Megan's Blog!! It's very enjoyable and funny to read - very creative!! I think everyone can relate to what she has said about Uni "University is self-driven, and you only get out what you put in". She portrayed her company's image outstandingly by not over exaggerating the facts, got straight to the point and had fun with it.
