Construction and government background for new MTA chief
Motor Trade Association president David Storey has announced the appointment of Warwick Quinn as the groups chief executive.
The association has been on the hunt for a new ceo since the departure of Stephen Matthews late last year. Rob MacGregor has been in the role on a temporary basis since.
Storey says he is delighted to secure the services of such a seasoned business professional.
“We’re delighted Warwick has accepted this role. He brings to MTA a wealth of business experience and a proven track record of developing and positioning a membership organisation as an industry leader,” Storey says. “Warwick’s extensive experience will assist MTA to deliver its vision to ‘Create Sustainable Business Advantage’ for its members.”
Quinn joins MTA with an impressive management career having held positions as ceo of Registered Master Builders Association and Master Build Services Ltd, General Manager Regulatory – Land Information New Zealand, Chief Crown Property Officer – Land Information New Zealand, Valuations Manager – Auckland City Council, and Regional Manager – Landcorp Property Limited.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead such a strong membership organisation,” Quinn says.
“MTA is a highly respected brand with a powerful voice in the motor industry of New Zealand and I believe the future for MTA and its members is very exciting.”
He will commence in his new role with MTA in August 2014.
Established in 1917, MTA is New Zealand’s largest motor industry organisation with approximately 4,000 members, representing every facet of the industry – from repair workshops, collision repair workshops, new and used vehicle sales, service stations, to specialists in alternative fuels and outdoor power equipment. MTA members are driven by high standards that provide an assurance of quality and professionalism.
