Talk:Brambles Limited

message: I haven't done many moves but it seems this page is a good candidate to move to Brambles Limited because:
# This article's infobox and first sentence refer to the company as "Brambles Limited".
# The company's website (on the contact page and investor relations page) refer to themselves as "Brambles Limited"
# The Google Finance page states "Brambles Limited, formerly Brambles Industries Limited..."
I guess I'll make the move (and follow the directions on the move page) in a week or so if there's no response here by then or if no one beats me to it. --Georgeryp (talk) 18:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move this "Brambles Industries" page to "Brambles Limited" 

message: Hi, this content about Brambles Limited could do with some updating. Specifically, it lists the CEO as Tom Gorman, who left the business in February 2017 - the current CEO is Graham Chipchase. The company headquarters have now been moved to London, UK and the sales results in the summary box are from 2014, more up to date details are available on the company website www.brambles.com 
I am a company employee so although these edits are non controversial I wanted to disclose my potential conflict of interest. Please don't hesitate to contact me on my discussion page if you have any question. Many thanks!

thread_title:  Page updates 

message: As stated in my above comments, some of this information is out of date. As i am a company employee i don't want to make meaningful edits myself, so it would be terrific if an editor would consider the following changes:
INFOBOX
Headquarters - now Sydney, Australia and London, UK
Suggest deleting revenue and net income sections as they change annually and are not being updated here - or update based on recent results from company website
Number of employees: circa 10,000 (2019)
MAIN CONTENT
Replace third sentence with:
As at 30 June 2019 Brambles employed more than 10,000 people and owned approximately 330 million pallets, crates and containers through a network of about 750 service centres. [source remains the same]
 
Section 'Operations/acquisitions' needs to be reworked as the business no longer reports in these operating segments suggest language such as:
Brambles has operations in more than 60 countries worldwide and manages a range of products including: 
•	Pallets: Brambles' pallet pooling and associated services businesses, predominantly under the CHEP brand, serves customers in multiple supply chains across three key regions: Americas; Europe, Middle East & Africa; and Asia Pacific.
•	RPCs: Brambles’ reusable produce crate (RPC) pooling services business, serves customers in the fresh produce sector in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa under the CHEP brand.
•	Containers: Brambles provides reusable containers to the automotive and other sectors, and manages a pool of kegs under its brand Kegstar. 
Since 2009, Brambles has made a number of acquisitions, the largest of which have been:
•	IFCO, a provider of pooled reusable produce crates (RPC) to the food supply chain worldwide and of pallet services in the US, for an enterprise value of €923 million (US$1,255 million). The acquisition was completed in April 2011.  Brambles announced on 25 February 2019 that it had entered into a binding agreement to sell IFCO to Triton and a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) for an enterprise value of US$2.51 billion 
•	Pallecon, a provider of intermediate bulk containers in Europe and the Asia-Pacific, for €135 million (US$177 million). The acquisition was completed in January 2013.[10]
[Third bullet above has also been updated to reference a business sale - source could be: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brambles-strategy-ifco/brambles-sells-ifco-business-for-2-5-billion-to-buy-back-shares-idUSKCN1QE0I6]
Section 'Management' could also be updated to reflect significant personnel changes [source remains the same]:
The current board of directors are:
•	Stephen Johns, non-executive chairman (independent)
•	Graham Chipchase, chief executive officer
•	George El Zoghbi, non-executive director (independent)
•	Elizabeth Fagan, non-executive director (independent)
