The directors of Vehicle Inspection NZ Ltd (VINZ) have appointed Sean Stevens as chief executive, reporting to the company’s board.
Stevens has been acting chief executive since August 2019. He will focus on continuing to grow the business in its key areas of in-service inspection testing, entry certification and solution for its customers.
Stevens will also seek out strategic partnership and opportunities to expand VINZ, while ensuring the company provides industry-leading service to its customers.
“Sean has led VINZ’s operation delivery in a time of change and growth and we know he has the necessary skills to continue to guide the company’s growth as an Inspection Organisation,” VINZ director Euan Philpot says.
Stevens joined VINZ in August 2015 and was formerly general manager of operation and delivery. His automotive background includes roles with Ateco and Continental Cars Services.
“Sean has a proven track record at VINZ. And was the obvious choice for the permanent role. We expect his strengths in customer service management will contribute to stronger and deeper relationships with our customers and the wider automotive industry,” another VINZ director Gordon Shaw says.
