TRT New Zealand has announced the appointment of Justin Cox to the position of crane sales manager.
Cox started the role on January 12 and will be leading crane sales in New Zealand based out of TRT’s head office in Hamilton.
His appointment supports TRT’s continued focus on growth for Grove, Manitowoc, Kobelco, Potain, Hiab, and the company’s very own TIDD Pick and Carry Crane.
“Justin brings a strong skill set and experience to TRT and we are looking forward to drawing on his past experience to enhance our capabilities and enable us to find new and innovative ways to solve problems for our customers,” TRT innovation and sales director Brice Carden says.
Cox brings a wealth of experience to his new role. Starting his career as a diesel mechanic, he progressed to business growth and management roles including national plant manager for McConnell Dowell Constructors Ltd, servicing and supporting various projects throughout New Zealand and remote islands within the Pacific region. After spending ten years in the civil engineering industry with McConnell Dowell, he was excited for a change to pursue new opportunities.
“This is an exciting challenge for me,” Cox says.
“Hiab cranes have been in New Zealand for over 30 years. They have a hugely versatile product range including everything from knuckle boom, and truck loader cranes to Zepro Truck Tail Lifts, Jonsered and Loglift Cranes, Multilift equipment, Moffett Forklifts, and Marine Cranes,” he adds.
“Not to mention TRT is the New Zealand distributor for Kobelco, Grove, Potain, and Manitowoc Crawler Cranes. I am excited to represent not only world-leading and reputable products but also a business that has a supportive culture and an ethos of continuous improvement. I’m excited to continue and progress TRT’s distributor reputation for these quality products and I look forward to supporting our existing client base and creating new relationships.”
Cox has also had a short time to get to know the business while based out of its head office.
“What stands out the most for me is its people and the culture. Since day one everyone has made me feel very welcomed and I am looking forward to getting stuck in and exploring new possibilities,” he says.
