50 Years Strong is about our Members, our Preferred Suppliers, our Team and everyone in the wider Capricorn community who has been part of the journey for the past five decades.
We are extremely proud to have created a community within the automotive industry that extends beyond business relationships. Capricorn was established to help and support Members to grow stronger businesses. We have never lost sight of that purpose, why we exist and why we started. We will continue to work with Members, Preferred Suppliers and the industry to achieve longevity, stability and increase sustainability.
The ’50 Years Strong’ celebration features stories from all different people in the Capricorn community. As part of the celebrations, we have had the opportunity to connect with our community and reminisce about the good times, but also the challenges the community has faced. It’s been a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the role of Capricorn, for individual businesses and for the industry as a whole.
'50 Years Strong' is more than just a slogan; it is a testament to our resilience, adaptability, and unwavering dedication to cooperation. The vision of the original 17 remains as Capricorn’s purpose today, a commitment to working together and understanding the benefit of strength in numbers.
This anniversary is all about the people who share this commitment and dedication, from the local mechanic Member to large nation-wide Preferred Suppliers and the employees on the road or in the office. Capricorn’s success is an achievement for all those in the industry.
