The Victorian Transport Association (VTA) today welcomed Peter Anderson to the role of interim Chief Executive Officer following the recent departure of Neil Chambers.
VTA President Brendan Hopley said that the VTA Executive Council, staff and members are fortunate that Peter was available to fulfill the role of interim CEO.
“With over 30 years’ experience in the transport industry, the industry as a whole will benefit from Peter’s extensive operational knowledge and experience,” he said.
“Peter has maintained a long standing and active relationship with the VTA, holding the positions of Executive Council member, five years as Chair of the Container Group and six years as Chair of the Freight Group.”
According to Anderson, he looked forward to spearheading the VTAs advocacy efforts for the benefit of all members as well as the wider transport community.
“As a second generation transport family, I’ve always been around trucks and I have a true passion for the industry,” he said. “This is a great opportunity for me to utilise the skills and knowledge I’ve acquired over the past 30 years to give something back to the industry.
“The work carried out by the VTA for its members and the wider industry is phenomenal and I look forward to driving this further.”
