As one of the earliest Life Members of the LBRCA, Cec Hayes played a pivotal role in shaping the foundations of an organisation that continues to serve and represent transport operators across Australia. During the Association’s formative years, Cec provided leadership, guidance and a strong commitment to the development of a united voice for livestock and rural carriers.
His vision and determination helped establish principles of advocacy, cooperation and member support that remain central to the organisation today. Widely respected for his straightforward manner, integrity and deep understanding of the transport industry, Cec was a firm believer in the power of industry unity. He dedicated significant time and effort to supporting fellow operators and advancing the interests of rural transport businesses, recognising the critical role they play in keeping regional Australia moving.
His contribution helped build a strong foundation for future generations, and his legacy continues to be reflected in the culture, values and enduring success of the LBRCA.
