Sean Buckley answers: What are some of the vital attributes, in your opinion, that every leader should possess?

Focus, goal-setting, follow the data, build relationships, employ expertise – listen to them, don’t micro-manage them and remember; the best predictor of the future is the past – learn from your mistakes and don’t make them again in the future.

What is the operating philosophy that the business has been built on?

Always try to look to the future. Employ good, trustworthy hard-working people in key positions, give them some autonomy and only provide guidance rather than micro-managing. A number of my staff have been with me for 15 years plus, some of the key innovations we’ve had within the various enterprises I’m involved in can be attributed my key staff members.

Sean Buckley Ultra Tune interviewed by the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association

Sean Buckley of Ultra Tune was recently interviewed by the AAAA (Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association) regarding the inquiry into the behaviour of vehicle manufacturers attempting to monopolize the after-sales car service market and drive up the cost of car servicing. sean buckley aaaa

Australia and New Zealand remain the only countries worldwide where manufacturers have been able to quarantine vehicle servicing data making it near impossible for independent service providers to properly service more recently manufactured vehicles.

After months of effort and preparation, Sean Buckley and Ultra Tune, with other independent operators, managed to address the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) regarding the anti-competitive nature of the manufacturer’s behaviour.

The ACCC weren’t impressed and legislation will be enacted in 2018 creating a level playing field upon which independent service providers, such as Ultra Tune, will be able to favourably compete on price and workmanship with vehicle manufacturers in the after sales service market.

The ACCC found that many car manufacturers have not factored consumer guarantee rights into their complaints handling systems and new car buyers are losing out as a result. These rights provide remedies for consumers if their new car experiences a failure, including a right to a repair (without charge) for a minor failure, or a replacement of the car or a full refund for a major failure.

The ACCC has identified five key issues contributing to the difficulties consumers are having enforcing their consumer guarantee rights:

  • car manufacturers’ focus on warranty obligations to the exclusion of their consumer guarantee obligations
  • there is a dominant ‘culture of repair’ underpinning car manufacturers’ systems and policies for dealing with car defects and failures
  • the widespread use of non-disclosure agreements by car manufacturers when resolving complaints
  • the lack of effective independent dispute resolution options for consumers
  • particular features of the commercial arrangements between car manufacturers and dealers.

Anthony Mundine vs Charles Hatley:

Hatley took the lead by round 5 with the scorecard showing he was ahead: 40-33, 40-33, 39-36

Mundine started to feel the effects of Hatley’s peristant body shots  to the ribs in round 6. Hatley then marked Mundine on the left cheek and definitely wobbled him.

By round 9, Hatley was switching stances going from orthodox to southpaw and keeping up the page. In round 10 Mundine scored his first knockdown, protested by Hatley who came back stronger in round 11 by a strong right hand and TKO.
