The Managing Director of Adelaide-based engineering and surveying firm
Fyfe has been appointed to the Board of the Australian Pipeline Industry
Association Ltd (APIA), the peak national body representing the interests of
Australia's transmission pipeline sector.
He is the second South Australian on the APIA Board.
Mr Dayman joins fellow South Australian Mr Ashley Kellett, the General
Manager of SEA Gas.
Mr Dayman said his appointment, at the recent APIA Convention in
Queensland, reflected South Australia’s AND Fyfe’s growing involvement in
the national pipeline industry.
He said the development of massive gas projects around Australia was
opening many opportunities for service providers and this growth was
expected to escalate significantly in coming years.
“These developments will almost certainly create opportunities for companies
such as Fyfe to provide specialist services,” he said.
“We are already working on a number of coal seam methane projects in
Queensland and South Australia and recently won a contract as part of the
multi-billion dollar Gladstone Liquified Natural Gas project in Queensland.
“However, we expect work in the industry will increase rapidly in coming years
as other gas projects are developed.”
APIA is a broad association covering all sectors of the gas transmission
industry, including owners and operators, construction companies,
consultancies and service providers.
APIA has more than 400 members.
The latest addition to Fyfe’s wholly owned subsidiaries, J Matthews & Associates, officially introduced themselves as Fyfe JMA by hosting a celebratory dinner on Saturday 11 July, 2009.
Valued clients and their partners from all over the Northern Territory celebrated with management and employees of Fyfe JMA at the beautiful La Beach restaurant in Cullen Bay. The magical Darwin sunset wasn’t the only appealing part of the evening, with guests enjoying great food, great wine and great company!
Fyfe JMA has retained all original J Matthews & Associates staff and through their expansion, have been able to provide additional employment opportunities for people in the Northern Territory. There are currently over 17 full-time staff working on a variety of projects around the Territory. Fyfe JMA has the integrity, technical competence and customer driven focus that ensures success with the services we deliver.
Mr Warwick Bryant is Division Manager of Fyfe JMA and had this to say about the company’s future. “I believe it is the right time to be an expanding company with fresh ideas and looking at the way Fyfe JMA has grown in such a short time has been quite exciting. With the population growth in Darwin and more people venturing up north, Fyfe JMA are able to provide the services that people expect in larger cities. We can now look at ourselves as becoming a modern city and the gateway to Asia. Darwin has a lot to offer and so does the Fyfe JMA team.”
Managing Director of Fyfe, Mark Dayman, flew in from Adelaide for the occasion and spent some time in the Fyfe JMA office located in the business district of Larrakeyah. “The evening was a great success and provided an excellent opportunity to meet with clients of Fyfe JMA and their partners. The evening also provided a good opportunity for my wife Denise and I to meet with staff and their partners in a social setting. Opening business operations in the Northern Territory through this acquisition has been a very positive step for Fyfe. The team that Warwick Bryant has built together with John Matthew’s knowledge and contacts will ensure Fyfe JMA continue their strong performance.”
We would like to thank all guests & staff for attending our celebratory dinner and we look forward to working together in the future.
Over 200 invited guests gathered to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Fyfe Alliance at a newspaper themed dinner held at the National Wine Centre, Adelaide on Friday 2 November, 2007.
The newspaper theme for the event extended to large scale decorations and a specially commissioned newspaper reviewing the company’s history and successful growth which was presented as a gift to attendees.
Beginning in 1982 as a one-man surveying company in Adelaide, Fyfe now employs 220 employees covering a diverse range of development, engineering and surveying related disciplines across five sites in South Australia and Queensland.
Although celebrating past achievements, guests received a glimpse into the future with Managing Director Mark Dayman speaking about Fyfe’s expansion plans.
‘Fyfe is looking to expand our services in the future and has recently opened a second office in Adelaide for its oil and gas engineering staff.’
‘We will also be opening an engineering office in Brisbane soon and expanding our surveying activities into other states in the near future.’ Mr Dayman said.
Mr Dayman also paid tribute to the employees and clients who have made the success and expansion of the company possible.
