Over the course of a decade, Shane grew EFM to include more than 30 franchise sites across four states, serving in excess of 4500 clients. EFM provided services to companies including Santos, F.H. Faulding, Australia Post, BHP and Lion Nathan.

In 1994, he was awarded the Australia Day Business Award for contribution to the fitness industry.

By the year 2000, Shane had sold EFM and was operating as Chief Executive of Wendy’s Supa Sundaes. In just six years, he had increased the business from $75 million turnover to more than $125 million, resulting in the sale of the enterprise to private equity. Again, he was awarded for his achievement, receiving the state Young Leader of the Year prize in 2005.

New challenges continued to drive Shane’s business ambitions. He was appointed Chief Operating Officer of 7-Eleven in early 2010. Already a $3.5 billion chain with more than 700 stores, he was integral in 7-Eleven’s acquisition of Mobil retail, worth more than $550 million, making it one of the largest private company purchases in Australia in the decade prior.

While at 7-Eleven, Shane inducted the ‘Retail Activation’ program. Aimed at enforcing a culture of selling into a business with otherwise low levels of service, many of the 7-Eleven stores recorded 30-40% in sales growth as a result of the program.

For two years from 2012 to 2014, Shane took a financial interest in the Essential Brands Group, owning brands including I Luv Coffee, I Luv Slush, and I Luv Yoghurt, serving more than 16,000 customers.

Late in 2014, Shane was headhunted to take on the Chief Executive role at Cheap as Chips, a chain of discount variety stores operating more than 35 outlets in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, with more than 3000 staff and a turnover of $150 million. He took a major share of the business as part of a management buyout in 2015.
