10^th June, 2009

                        To All Superior Customers and Dealers

It is with deep sadness that we inform everyone that Tom Plunkett Snr passed away on the 8^th June.  As some of you may have been aware, Tom has been battling cancer for the last 18 months and unfortunately he finally succumbed to the disease. 

Tom was an inspiration to all manufacturers especially in the agricultural industry and it is a tremendous loss to the industry.  He started Superior in 1973 and has implemented and created machinery of high standard and caliber some of which have serviced this industry now for 36 years.  His experience and expertise allowed him to continue modifying and creating equipment to the standard required and recognized by the industry right up to the time of his passing.  He continued to work up to 3 days prior to his passing doing what he loved doing.

Tom’s son Tom Jnr and daughter Cecily, will remain with the company and will ensure that Tom’s legacy continues and that the company continues operating as usual and to the same high standard it has in the past.  We envisage it will continue to grow as long as the need for the Superior product grows.

Many of you established a close relationship with Tom over the years and we invite you to attend a celebration of Tom’s life, along with his friends, family and work colleagues, next Tuesday the 16^th June at St Mary’s Catholic Church, Bromelton Street, Beaudesert at 1.00 pm. A procession will then take place to the Plunkett burial site at Tamborine where Tom will be laid to rest followed by a wake, in Tom’s honor, which will be held at

Superior Equipment will close its’ doors for the day in respect of the man who created it, Tom Plunkett, and made it what it is today.

Tom, Cecily and staff
