RTF conference fast approaching
Areminder that The Road Ahead – 2021 Transporting New Zealand Conference is fast approaching. Taking place on 25 and 26 September at Invercargill’s Ascot Park Hotel, the conference will include an interesting and diverse range of speakers, from Minister of Transport Michael Wood and Leader of the Opposition Judith Collins, to Supercars legend Greg Murphy and GirlBoss founder Alexia Hilbertidou. There will be social events to mix and mingle and a partners’ programme for those who don’t necessarily want to talk trucking all day.
The New Zealand Road Transport Industry Awards are also back. The awards were set up several years ago to recognise best practice and achievement in the industry. They are a way of honouring individuals, organisations and companies that have gone above and beyond industry requirements in raising skills, safety practices, knowledge, training, industry awareness, innovation and expertise.
As well as the VTNZ Supreme Contribution to the Road Transport Industry Award, there’s the EROAD Outstanding Contribution to Health and Safety, the Teletrac Navman Outstanding Contribution by a Woman in the Road Transport Industry and the EROAD Young Driver of the Year. The Castrol Truck Driver Hero Award will also be presented.
The awards rely on peer-to-peer recognition from within the industry, so please send in your nominations. Entry guidelines and the nomination form are available for download from the rtf.nz website.
Conference registration, the conference programme and accommodation options are available at rtfconference.co.nz.
