Palmerston North-based Motor Truck Distributors (MTD) has employed two new Mack Account Managers to better service it’s clientele.
MTD’s long-standing Bay of Plenty salesperson Robbie Shaw has been replaced by Ryan Simmonds while Chris King will be starting his new role in the Manawatu region.
Simmonds started his career as a Volvo Construction Equipment Sales Cadet in Queensland and was with them for seven years.
Returning to New Zealand, he continued in the role as Territory Manager for Transdiesel selling Volvo equipment before joining MTD.
Tauranga-based Simmonds is married with one child, and he will work from the Mt Maunganui Truck Stops branch.
Chris King has spent more than 20 years in the road transport sector with ten years at Toll and then onto a regional role with Fonterra in warehousing and transportation.
He was a lower North Island regional manager with Mainstream Freight Group before
taking on the role of branch manager at Truck Stops in Palmerston North some 18 months ago.
King says he is passionate about both the transport industry and the Mack brand and is working from MTD’s head office located in Palmerston North.
