“While the news earlier this month that Tom Phillips was retiring from Mitsubishi came as a surprise to many, I knew then that South Australia could not afford to lose the talents of someone of his experience, integrity and leadership qualities." said S.A. Premier MIke Rann
“Above all, I wanted to make sure Tom Phillips stayed in South Australia and used his incredible depth of knowledge and understanding after 40 years in the automotive manufacturing industry to help us make the right decisions about training a workforce for the future," he said.
Mr Rann said that the State needed more trained workers for military construction projects and uranium mining expansions.
“We need to gear up our skills for a range of projects including the Air Warfare Destroyers, the massive Roxby Downs expansion and the mining boom" he said..
