Chairman's Message

People, Passion and Performance.

From our earliest days these three things have been the foundation of our company. From our first retail store established over 100 years ago to today’s international operations, the importance of these things has never changed.

Costa began with one simple guiding philosophy – determine the customer’s needs and then exceed them wherever possible. That same philosophy prevails today. Whether it involves the handling of fresh produce or innovative logistics solutions for complex supply chains, our founding principles remain the same.

The importance of the character of our people is reflected in our Character First! ethos which is shown in every area of our business – from the way we emphasise, require and recognise the practice of good character.

Our people are absolutely passionate about what they do and we take great pride in the frequent references we receive from visitors regarding the enthusiasm of our staff.

My experience has been that whenever you find people of outstanding character who are passionate about their roles, they will perform at a superior level. Our organisation exemplifies this with outstanding service delivery consistently across our business units as our staff constantly challenge themselves to reach higher levels of personal and corporate achievement.

I extend to you the services of the Costa Group of Companies and invite you to join our family as we commit ourselves to exceeding your needs in all areas of supply chain management.

Frank Costa OAM
Executive Chairman – Costa Group of Companies
