IN THE KNOW / INTRODUCTION

SIMON CARSON OPERATIONS MANAGER (Christchurch)

Before joining TRT, my background primarily revolved around the national and global transport industry. For the past ten years, I served as the COO for Road Transport New Zealand, where my focus was on compliance matters. Prior to that, I spent a decade as the National Commercial Manager working in international supply chain for Maersk Logistics New Zealand based in Auckland.

I've always been closely connected to New Zealand's transport sector, spanning from heavy haulage and line haul to livestock and most other sectors of the industry. My passion for transport, mechanics and the machinery involved in shifting goods around New Zealand has driven my journey in this field.

I look forward to this new role managing operations with TRT's Christchurch team.

ANDREW FARRELL HIAB SALES ENGINEER (North Island)

I've worked in multiple roles in the Transport and Heavy Automotive Industries over my career. I've been a Workshop Manager for various franchises and most recently managed a parts and service dealership for Scania and ISUZU in the lower North Island.

Arriving in New Zealand I commenced carrying out compliance and permitting work for mobile cranes and over dimensional vehicles. Then I moved onto fleet maintenance management in the aggregate industry before working in truck sales for a number of years developing best fit solutions to clients’ requirements.

When the fix is outside of the norm, they are the challenges I enjoy most, using my knowledge of transport compliance and regulations.

Backed up with over 20 years industry experience and mechanical knowledge, providing technical solutions and seeing them working is what I enjoy most.
