Shell Rimula to honour trucking’s unsung heroes at national awards

18 Aug 2017

 

Shell Rimula is again proud to partner with the National Road Transport Hall of Fame to celebrate the achievements and lifetime commitment of the Australian road transport community who keep Australia moving.

The three-day event (25-27 August) sponsored by Shell Rimula for the past 17 years, returns to Alice Springs in August and will be headlined by the coveted inductee ceremony taking place on Saturday morning, which will see 75 road transport heroes inducted in Shell Rimula Wall of Fame.

Commenting ahead of the Wall of Fame celebrations, Paul Fisher, Lubricants Team Leader for Shell’s Licensee, Viva Energy Australia, said, “We’re excited to be part of the 2017 event and to welcome the 75 inductees into the prestigious Shell Rimula Wall of Fame.”

“We’re proud of Australia’s road transport heritage, and Shell’s place within that history, and are committed to recognising the individuals of the road transport community for their life-long dedication,” Fisher continued.

The weekend kicks off with a breakfast on Friday to celebrate Australian women who have helped shape the industry. The main event, the Shell Rimula Wall of Fame Ceremony, takes place the following morning before the 2017 Shell Rimula Wall of Fame Dinner Dance that evening.

“As the heart of Australia what better place than Alice Springs to bring our road transport community together to celebrate the industry’s enduring commitment to keep the country moving and to recognise the individuals inducted into the Shell Rimula Wall of Fame,” said Liz Martin OAM, National Road Transport Hall of Fame CEO.
