TASPLAN named Tasmania’s biggest company, again.

For the second year in a row, local Industry super fund TASPLAN, has been named Tasmania’s largest company (in terms of revenue) in the latest BRW list of Australia’s top 500 private companies*. 

Tasplan was ranked 146^th in the top 500 list and edged out other well known Tasmanian firms. This compares to a ranking of 164th last year and 498^th in 2009’s list. 

TASPLAN CEO, Neil Cassidy, said the recognition of the BRW listing is very pleasing, given it has been achieved with 13 staff. 

“We’re a profits-to-members fund and run a very lean operation, we have to, so this result is acknowledgement of the great job our staff do in what has been a very uncertain period. 

“We believe this approach and our investments in Tasmanian infrastructure and jobs result in sound long-term returns for members, coupled with positive ongoing benefits for Tasmania. 

“We fly under the radar to a certain extent, given super is not paramount in people’s minds, but this result is good news for our members and the state,” Mr Cassidy said.
