“I would like to thank industry
leaders John King, president of
BusNSW and owner of Premier
Motor Service, and David Tagg at
Kennedy’s Bus & Coach for their
time and mentoring role they
have played over the past few
years,” Melissa said.
“I’ve always grown up with my
Nan saying that as a woman I can
do anything as long as I put my
mind to it and give it a go.
“I might be in the minority as
a female in the room, but that
doesn’t bother me; everyone is
always quite encouraging to be
honest, and I think they should
be. When you look around this
industry no-one is getting any
younger, everyone is getting
older and that’s why it’s great
to have a young leader’s forum,
just to see who is out there. You
see so many young operators
coming through.”
