Following the announcement of Managing Director, Michael Brockhoff's retirement from MaxiTRANS, the trailer builder has appointed Dean Jenkins as his replacement, effective 1 March.
According to MaxiTRANS, Jenkins (pictured) brings two decades of industry experience to the role, most recently as COO and Executive Director of leading engineering business, Weir Group.
Chairman of MaxiTRANS, Robert Wylie, said the Board was delighted to appoint a senior international executive of Jenkins' calibre and experience to the role.
"Dean has over 20 years' executive experience in managing transport and manufacturing businesses. He has a strong track record of successfully leading large, complex and truly global companies, driving change and improvement throughout his career," Wylie said.
"This in-depth international transport and engineering experience and leadership capability means he is ideally suited to build MaxiTRANS' next phase of development to generate superior value for shareholders."
Previous to his role at Weir Group, Jenkins also was CEO of UGL Rail, Australia's largest supplier and maintainer of rolling stock with operations in Hong Kong, New Zealand and supply chain in China.
He also spent 11 years in senior leadership roles with Qantas, including the position of Group General Manager/Head of Engineering, Material and Logistics.
Jenkins said he was delighted to have been appointed to the position of Managing Director of MaxiTRANS.

The changing of the Health and Safety legislation has come and gone (10 months ago,) and it’s been an interesting space to watch, Gordon told MSCNewsWire.
Apart from the wake up and realisation that WSNZ now mean business many business have been looking for quick fix solutions. The hawkers of the $3000 20th century paper based systems are still out there but its pleasing to see that many proactive businesses are now looking for software or 21st century solutions to manage this important. compliance responsibility.
Ironicaly this could be a health & safety issue in itself as the adding of more bulk to the already bulging files could cause these very shelves to tumble and fall! Not a good look and oh so hard to fight your way around!
