He also has secured more design for Ford Australia, they also saved more of the casting plant for rotors that will be exported to other companies, he also got Ford Australia back into profit, and according to the other thread on here Ford's service has improved.

Also one of the biggest things he did was change peoples view on Ford and the Falcon, when he came in it was a lot of doom and gloom, now there are constant good news stories for Ford and there is more of a positive outlook even when certain journo's seem to push their agenda.

I'm sorry to see the guy go. He was a real asset to Ford Australia. Good luck Marin, I hope you enjoy your next posting and for yor successor to improve upon the foundations laid.
