The Toowoomba region is leading IOR Petroleum’s Queensland site expansion with a new, 24/7 diesel stop opening next week.

The Charlton site marks a key location for freight and logistics connectivity on the Warrego Highway alongside major developments, including Wellcamp Airport, the Toowoomba Enterprise Hub and the proposed Inland Rail route.

The new IOR Petroleum site features IOR’s latest “tap and go” TAG technology, with 11 fast-flow nozzles for fast refueling.

There is also a load-out facility to support bulk deliveries to farms, businesses and civil construction projects.

IOR Petroleum’s Charlton site will be opened with a country morning tea and barbecue to coincide with Toowoomba FarmFest on Thursday, 8 June, officiated by Mayor Paul Antonio.

The opening precedes IOR Petroleum’s unmanned Dalby site, due later this year, which will further contribute to the pickup in economic activity in the Downs region.

Further, IOR sites opening soon include Warwick and Barcaldine.

IOR Petroleum Managing Director Stewart Morland said the diesel stop was integral to connecting the extensive IOR network to Brisbane, the Western Downs and beyond.

“Located on the gateway to the Toowoomba Enterprise Hub, the Charlton site will complement one of the most significant transport, logistics and business regions of growth in Australia,” Mr Morland said.

“Given the 24/7 nature of businesses in the area, this site will provide 24-hour services around the clock.”

TSBE Executive Chairman Shane Charles said the new Charlton site was perfectly positioned to service the industrial needs of the Toowoomba Enterprise Hub well into the future.

“There’s going to be significant industrial and commercial users at the Enterprise Hub as it develops, and last week’s sod-turning at InterlinkSQ is a signal of works commencing,” Mr Charles said.

“There’s no secret that TSBE sees Toowoomba as the inland port of Australia, being the home to many national transport operators because of the heavy industrial use in the area.

“The Toowoomba Enterprise Hub is a key piece of infrastructure that will complement the expected growth in the Toowoomba region, and is one of the largest pieces of industrial land in South-East Queensland.”

IOR is an Australian-owned business that has been supporting regional and outback Australia since 1984 through community sponsorship, innovation technology and friendly, reliable “bush” service.

What:
All members of the local and regional communities are invited to come and enjoy an “old time” country morning tea and barbecue. The launch event will be a great opportunity for locals to meet with other businesses and industries from Toowoomba and the surrounding areas.

Everyone is welcome to attend the launch event, which will have food, prizes and giveaways, set among a fun atmosphere of hay bales, balloons and music.

The Heart of Australia semi-trailer and LifeFlight helicopter, both proudly sponsored by IOR Petroleum, will also be featured at the event, as well as IOR’s newest prime mover and tanker.

When:
Thursday, 8th June 11.00am – 2.00pm

Where:
10797 Warrego Highway, Charlton

You are cordially invited to join Councillor Paul Antonio, Mayor of Toowoomba Region, at 11am on Thursday 8th June for the opening ceremony and plaque unveiling at IOR Petroleum’s new flagship diesel stop at Charlton.

Morning tea will be served followed by a gourmet sausage sizzle. Come and meet IOR Managing Director, Stewart Morland, and members of the IOR team, as well as the principals of major stakeholding businesses across the Toowoomba and Downs region.

In an industry typically dominated by men, women are becoming an increasingly visible part of the supply chain. With a rise in female quotas in the fuel and transport sectors, gender diversity is being recognised for providing broader skills, innovation and work- life balance. In this feature, IOR Petroleum stands out with six of its nine Queensland depots operated by women who have been helping fuel regional and outback Australia since 1984.

“Fuel in my veins”

For Tammy Andrews, IOR Petroleum’s rural site supervisor in Roma and Injune, there is no such thing as a “typical” day at work. During her daily tasks you will find her working closely with fellow frontliners Wendy Farndon and Christie Kelly, both part-time depot administrators at Injune. No two days are the same for this lady from Charleville who says, in her words, “I have fuel in my veins”.

“Women have been in the background of the industry for many years, but these days there are more women on the frontline, driving the trucks and being part-owners,” she said.

Kellie Athorn from IOR’s Cloncurry depot agrees. “A lot of husband and wife teams don’t need to be separated anymore,” she said. “Women are now amongst it. I have been with IOR for six years now with my husband, and we couldn’t ask for a better workplace. We love what we do and it’s great to see so many women in the industry.”

A role like no other

For Melissa Leadbetter at IOR’s Goondiwindi depot, a sense of teamwork and support is what encourages her in her day-to-day role with marketers, drivers and sales personnel. “We have a real community spirit here,” she said. “In IOR, we support one another, work together as a team and enjoy the company we work with.”

The importance of family

Like many IOR frontline team members, Jo Mildon from IOR’s Chinchilla and Miles depots also works alongside her husband and values the benefits a family-oriented workplace like IOR can offer. “Working with my husband in the same team allows us versatility, so we are able to juggle our family schedules together,” she said. “The growth of visible, female roles in frontline services like ours can offer a broader range of skill sets and improve the work-life balance for the whole team, which is absolutely a benefit that is passed on to all our customers.”

The IOR Brisbane Office will close on the Christmas/New Year public holidays and will be operating with limited staff from Friday 23rd December.  We will reopen head office as normal from Monday 9th January 2017.

IOR Depots will be closed on the public holidays and will otherwise operate as normal.

For any service difficulties during this Christmas/New Year period, please call 1300 457 467.

Have a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year.  Please drive safely over the holidays.

IOR staff aim to raise funds for CareFlight in the lead up to Bridge to Brisbane

IOR has a team participating in the Bridge to Brisbane for the second year running. This year, the Bridge to Brisbane held on Sunday 28 August, celebrates its 20^th year with a new course highlighting Brisbane’s most iconic landmarks including the Story Bridge.

In addition to our quest for fitness, we are also aiming to fundraise over $700 for CareFlight Rescue as this cause is crucial to many of our customers and staff in remote and regional Australia.

IOR Petroleum and IOR Aviation have been long term supporters of RACQ CareFlight and our Managing Director, Stewart Morland has been a serving member of the Careflight Board of Directors for a number of years. This is an organisation close to our hearts as we operate in many regional and rural towns across Australia including Queensland that benefit from the lifesaving emergency services they provide.

On 23 November, Toowoomba’s Wellcamp Airport celebrated a milestone – the first international flight from the Darling Downs airport with Cathay Pacific, sending Queensland produce including nuts, mangoes, beef and chicken to Hong Kong.

IOR were lucky to join in the celebration with our IOR Aviation customised truck allowed on to the tarmac in preparation for aviation fuel deliveries to commence to the Wellcamp Airport for Avgas and Jet A1 users.

The dedicated aviation division of IOR encompasses transport, logistics, fuel management systems and supply of high quality fuels to the Australian Aviation industry.  Much like our petroleum division, we operate an IOR Aviation tanker fleet which has been fitted with filtration systems and dedicated Avgas and Jet A1 trailers, eliminating switch loading, preventing fuel contamination risk for our customers.

Complementing IOR Aviation’s fuel delivery capability is a comprehensive range of aviation ready fuel storage tanks and fuel management solutions which meet CASA and all associated Australian standards.

To discuss your aviation fuel requirements, please contact IOR Aviation business manager, Grant Love on 0437 449 192 or our head office on 1300 457 467.  We look forward to tailoring a fuel supply solution for you to suit your needs.

Living in rural and remote communities can have its challenges, including regular access to local specialist medical services.  Often people are required to travel to bigger cities, hundreds or thousands of kilometres from their homes for potentially lifesaving investigative or diagnostic medical appointments.

IOR Petroleum services remote and regional Australia with depots and 24/7 unmanned Diesel Stops which includes a large footprint across Queensland. We understand the impact and importance of giving back to the communities in which we operate, this includes support for the Heart of Australia program.  This mobile  clinic provides specialist cardiac and respiratory services travelling to 11 regional Queensland towns including Roma, Dalby, Charleville, St George, Goondiwindi, Emerald, Barcaldine, Charters Towers, Moranbah and Longreach.  This service saves an average distance of 650km travelled per patient on each visit!

Since the program launched in October 2014, the customised specialist clinic road train has managed to provide care for over 1,700 patients, with 11 being identified for open heart surgery.  That’s a lot of lives potentially saved and as a business with a direct link to the areas serviced by Heart of Australia, we are excited to support this initiative.

Barbara, an IOR customer based in Roma wrote to us recently about her very positive experience with the Heart of Australia clinic.  We are very pleased to hear that Barbara is feeling better and that the program has made such a difference to the life of one of our customers.

“I am just writing to say thank you for your sponsorship of the Heart of Australia truck. I recently had heart issues and through the perseverance of the attending Cardiologist at the truck and my GP, my problem was located and rectified.

 I may not be as well as I am today without this service and it is greatly appreciated.

I have a follow up appointment towards the end of this month. Not having to travel away to attend a service such as this is wonderful.”
