John Doesburg – former national manager of commercial operators, road and rail, at the NZTA – is now an associate advisor at CCS Logistics, which provides transport operators with services to help to improve safety, efficiency and productivity.
Doesburg already operates his own independent business advisory and his work with CCS comes after several years of growth for the company, with CCS managing director Corinne Watson saying they will “further expand services to help our customers meet their goals.”
He brings extensive management experience from both the private and public sectors, along with a very strong compliance/regulatory background.
Back in the days of the Land Transport Safety Authority he held the position of regional manager for Otago and Southland before coming to the national office of the LTSA as national regulatory advisor.
“I am looking forward to helping operators improve their ORS rating and also improve their fuel efficiency in my capacity as a heavy vehicle performance advisor and business programme partner with EECA,” he says.
“I enjoy working with people at all levels of an organisation, encouraging them to develop within a team or as individuals.
“We work with the business of a company beyond just the fleet, looking at how they are structured and how decisions are made. It’s about getting some good sound business practices in place and being able to measure them. That way you know what you’re doing, your costs, and what you have to improve.
“I also consult with both management teams as well as individuals on a range of core business practices, such as business systems, customer management, organisational culture and regulatory performance.
“Working alongside the team at CCS Logistics gives me the opportunity to leverage the experience of my years at the Transport Agency, and put this to positive use within an established service company.”
CCS Logistics have spent the last 7 years interpreting GPS data and turning it into a managed improvement plan, tailored to each of their customers. Their focus is to provide practical advice and tools to transport operators to improve safety and compliance and to reduce risk and operating costs.
