In mid-August, TRT hosted the New Zealand Heavy Haulage Association Conference delegates on a site tour through our manufacturing facility in Hamilton.
This started with an introduction to our business followed by a walk to the TIDD assembly and steel processing shed then to fabrication
where they got to check out some of the current builds and repair bay activities. After that, they visited paint and blast and lastly enjoyed an ESS House Trailer demonstration in the main car park and with 3 big screens in the showroom showing the delegates different views during operation.
The feedback received was fantastic and it was great to see a lot of genuine interest in what we do here at TRT.

I began in the industry working part time at Southpac Trucks In the school holidays. As soon as
I had finished school I started in a full-time position at Southpac in the warehouse - before moving into a counter sales position in 2016.
I started with TRT in June 2021 as a Territory
manager covering the Auckland North area. Continuing to learn and grow my knowledge everyday with my customers is a key aspect of the job I enjoy.
One of my key my goals in this role is to build relationships with my customers and make sure they get the results they require.
MARK TERRY TERRITORY MANAGER / WAIKATO
I have worked for a variety of parts companies in the automotive and commercial sectors for over a 30 year period to date, with 20 of those based in the commercial sector. I have a specific area of experience and knowledge in brakes - could even call it a passion - having been a brake certifier in
the past, and especially in electronic systems.
I enjoy establishing working relationships with my commercial customers and I will always strive to provide the best service on their behalf and not to drop the ball.
