The New Zealand Trucking Association recently announced additions and role changes within its team, with the personnel developments aimed at enhancing membership services, marketing and communication efforts, office management, and the introduction of a new health and safety initiative.

Bill James has joined the association in a role dedicated to membership services, bringing his extensive experience and commitment to ensuring the satisfaction of their valued members.

With his expertise, Bill will further strengthen the association’s ability to support trucking operators, who are increasingly seeking assistance due to rising costs and narrowing margins.

Katie Johnson has assumed the role of marketing and communication manager, tasked with developing and implementing innovative strategies to effectively communicate the association’s initiatives, programmes, and benefits to the industry.

Debbie Neame has transitioned into the role of office manager, helping ensure the smooth functioning of operations. John Sansom has taken on the position of programme manager for the upcoming HARMfree Transport and Logistics initiative.

Scheduled to launch soon, the initiative is said to be a comprehensive industry-led initiative, designed to improve workplace safety and worker well-being, in a language and style practical for transport and logistics.

The programme is a collaborative effort of the association, National Road Carriers, Success formula, Fit for Duty, and Autosense and is supported by funding from ACC’s Workplace Injury Prevention grant.

Under the leadership of Dave Boyce, the chief executive officer and Carol McGeady, the chief operating officer, the New Zealand Trucking Association has a focus on building the capabilities of its team to sustain its growth trajectory.

Despite having a relatively small team, the association says it continues to design and implement impactful initiatives and programmes that improve industry safety and drive positive change within the trucking and logistics industry.
