will be accountable for BCR’s sales, account
management, procurement and marketing
functions.
Mr. Vavich has extensive experience in building and managing customer focused sales and account

“We are extremely pleased to have Bob join us as Chief Commercial Officer,” said David Katte, Chief
Executive Officer of BCR. “He has wide-ranging knowledge of our industry and the freight forwarder and
logistics market in Australia and has spent much of his career significantly growing and developing the
business he has worked in. The appointment of another supply chain veteran with extensive contract
logistics expertise signals BCR’s continued expansion from global freight forwarding and customs
brokerage, into domestic and offshore warehousing and distribution. His unique perspective and expertise
