Accordingto Wilson Security chief executive officer John McMellan, the focus is building a commercial plan around DJR and Wilson Security’s Queensland operations.

“On reviewingthis we have decided there is an opportunity to extend our support andrelationship on an interim basis... Theaim is to link our DJR support directly with our Queensland business andmeasure the effectiveness of that," McMellan said. 

“Theduration of that support will be reviewed based on the commercial and otherinitiatives we can achieve in our Queensland business by leveraging thissupport.

“Thisalso ensures our main support and program built around David (Wall), Fabian (Coulthard)and Jason (Bright) at BJR (Brad Jones Racing) isn't diluted or compromised.”
