Don McRae

Don is the director and owner of Lowes Petroleum Services. After acquiring an initial share in the original business in 1977 he grew volumes (x200 times) in the business to become a leading participant in the regional wholesale fuel supply market. This growth occurred steadily and with the help of his loyal and capable senior management team. Don brings valuable hands on experience in growing the Lowes business and the respect of all stakeholders whose support is critical in a business of this type, including relationships with many regional business leaders across a number of industries throughout the east coast of Australia.

Don owns or part-owns several other smaller business ventures, including an aviation company and some agri-businesses. One of these businesses, Super Air Australia, won the 2014 NSW Business of the Year Award. Don places high value on family, community and loyalty. Don and his wife, Kathy, relax by visiting one of his farms and working with his cattle.
