2024 marks 50 years since a group of Golden Fleece service station owners, a group of people with a common purpose, set up their own cooperative

They were very humble beginnings – on
several occasions Capricorn almost didn’t make it – and as visionary as our founding fathers were, I am not sure they would ever have expected Capricorn to become what it has.
I do think they would be immensely proud of the success Capricorn has enjoyed over the past half a century, and particularly during the last 20 to 30 years where we have built some scale and grown in leaps and bounds.
We think ‘50 Years Strong’ is a milestone worth marking, so throughout the first half of this new financial year, we will be celebrating with Members, Suppliers and the wider Capricorn community.
Our Gala Dinners and Expo this year will nod to this anniversary and I am looking forward to seeing what stories and memorabilia Members share through our memories competition.
Capricorn’s strength, I believe, is that it has never lost sight of its vision and purpose.
Our core mission is still providing value for Members – helping you build a better, stronger and more efficient business. Which means Capricorn must not stand still.
If we want to be here for another 50 years (and we plan to be) we need to have one eye on tackling the challenges of the future, like the transition to EVs.
The journey ahead may not be easy, but the strength and perseverance Capricorn has shown over the last 50 years shows we’ve got the grit and vision needed to continue to be an important partner to you and your business for many years to come.
So, we hope you will celebrate 50 Years Strong along with us.
