The Motor Trade Association has hired from within for its new chief executive.
Acting chief executive Craig Pomare has been appointed to the role on a permanent basis.
Pomare will assume responsibility immediately, succeeding Warwick Quinn who recently left MTA to lead the BCITO.
Pomare has been with MTA for two years, originally as general manager member services before being promoted to acting CEO. During that time he successfully restructured the MTA branch network and led a programme to build member’s understanding of the new health and safety legislation.
“I’m looking forward to working with the Board to implement its strategy,” Pomare says. “We will continue to focus on improving services to our members and representing their interests at a national level.”
Before starting at MTA Pomare held management positions at Westpac Bank and Medical Assurance Society. He lives in Wellington with his family and takes an active role in the local community.
