The opportunity to make a real contribution to shaping the future of one of Australia’s fastest growing companies. 

## What was your highlight of 2003/04? 

There were many – 39% growth, New Zealand, the IPO – but particularly working with a great team of people across the business who work so hard every day to do the best job they can. 

## What is your favourite Super Cheap Auto product? 

It has to be the Air Compressor – what a fantastic deal so I just had to get one – although I haven’t actually worked out how I am going to use it yet!

## STEVE DOYLE General Manager, Retail 

## Q. Tell us about your experience prior to joining Super Cheap Auto? 

A. I’ve been in retail all my working life with 15 years of retail experience in Australia and in Saudi Arabia. Prior to joining Super Cheap Auto in 2002, I was a National Business Manager in Woolworths Limited’s merchandise team. 

## What are your major responsibilities? 

I’m responsible for the day-to-day operations of our stores and for the set up of new stores. 

## Why do you work for Super Cheap Auto? 

The dynamic fast paced environment and the culture is fantastic. 

## What was your highlight of 2003/04? 

Opening nine stores in one day, stretching from Perth in the West to Hastings and Napier on the Eastern side of North Island New Zealand. 

## What is your favourite Super Cheap Auto product? 

Right now it’s a new product that is going to hit the stores in the next few months. It’s an inflatable boat, I saw the shipment sample come through and asked if I could buy it. It’s a great product and considerably cheaper than what I had expected to pay. It folds up into a carry bag that has wheels on it so you can pull it around. It fits into the boot of a Commodore and is a great product for fishing in hard to get to places or for kids to have fun with on the weekends.
