THE Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA) has appointed Matthew Hobbs as its chief executive officer.

Mr Hobbs, who will take over his new role in January, is currently director of policy and advocacy at the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI).

He replaces the MTAA's interim CEO, Geoff Gwilym, who is the CEO of the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce. Mr Gwilym took on the dual role in March 2023 following the retirement in December 2022 of previous MTAA CEO Richard Dudley.

The MTAA said Mr Hobbs brings to his new role a breadth of experience in the automotive industry, including filling senior executive roles with GM Holden, and with General Motors and Nissan Motors internationally.

Mr Hobbs has a record of leading successful government relations campaigns and supporting leadership to develop corporate strategies that impact the bottom line.

His experience includes securing substantial government incentives, developing restructuring plans, asset disposal, business savings, and obtaining favourable industry, trade and regulatory settings.
