When he first came to NZ, he worked as a commercial and operations manager for Fletcher Steel. This gave him an introduction to their carriers and a relationship with Mackley Carriers. In 2010 I took an ownership stake and the role of GM. After five years at Mackleys, I moved onto the role of CEO at NZL group, followed by the COO role at Hilton Haulage Group.
