The Team
Robert is the Managing Director of F.E.S TANKS and is very much hands on in the day to day running of the business.
Rob has been involved in the petroleum industry for 20 years which provided him with a strong platform to understanding our clients requirements.
Robert applied his trade with a Distributor of ExxonMobil for 15 years with his role primarily running the day to day operations of the petroleum and lubricant division.
As sales and operations manager of the ExxonMobil distributor model, Robert was instrumental in growing the company’s volume and increasing profits considerably during his tenure.
It was during this time Robert noticed a gap in the hydrocarbon storage tank market. Combined with mutual industry knowledge from Craig and Daryl, F.E.S.TANKS was formed.
Craig is our technical expert for all things related to the fuel industry. His in-depth knowledge of equipment, pumping, costings, logistics, compliance and statutory requirements are invaluable for any project that comes our way.
Craig founded Nqpetro in Carins, Queensland in 2004. As MD, he has grown the business to have a national presence, servicing large and small petroleum clients and fuel retailers in Australia and Papua New Guinea. They offer complete project management services including fuel installation, maintenance, fuel tank decommissioning and site remediation.
It is this depth and breadth of practical experience that Craig brings to the F.E.S. team. Craig has and continues to be instrumental in helping design many of the time saving and unique features that make F.E.S. TANKS products superior in the marketplace.
Daryl worked in the construction industry as a structural engineering draftsman from 1988 – 2009. When the construction industry was hit by the credit crunch, a change in career was in order.
Sensing the future was online, Daryl transitioned into the online marketing space and served his time working with one of the top tier marketing agencies in the UK. From there he has worked both agency and client side leading marketing teams that have captured millions of dollars of revenue attributed to their marketing efforts.
It is a profession he is passionate about and continues to explore within his role as marketing director at F.E.S. TANKS.
Daryl has a very unique skill set. If you find us, before we find you, Daryl has done his job.
