Graham Elliot has resigned as CEO of Sydney Dragway under amicable circumstances as part of a pre-planned move.
Elliot advised that during his time with the Sydney Dragway, the direction and support of the Board had allowed for changes and new innovations that will lay further foundation for the next stage of Sydney Dragway's progression.
“The leadership of the past Chairman Steve Dupond and present Chairman Jeff Wilson has been an inspiration, while the dedication and spirit of the extraordinary staff made each day a rewarding experience,” stated Elliot.
“ANDRA, the partners, volunteers and members that have all reached out personally to support myself and the team played a considerable part in the progression of late, with many long term arrangements and benefits as a result.”
The Board of Sydney Dragway will announce the incoming manager identified as part of Elliot’s succession in due course.
A statement from Sydney Dragway said the new appointment has been carefully selected to ensure the forward momentum will be continued. They also plan to advise of the restructuring and additional appointments that were made as part of Elliot’s organisational strategy and implementation.
Elliot continued; “The Dragway is very well positioned and staffed to kick some real goals going forward and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to play a part in making certain changes and establishing or renewing relationships that will play into the Dragway’s sustainability for the long term.
“It has been an absolute privilege and again I sincerely thank everyone involved in my time at the Dragway.”
It is understood Elliot will be joining the Lamattina Group of companies as Group CEO to assist with the further development of their expanding Farming, Beverage, Packaging and Racing operations.
