he Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA) has appointed TMatthew Hobbs as its new chief executive.
Moving from his current role of policy and advocacy director at the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, Hobbs brings a breadth of experience in the automotive industry.
That includes senior executive roles in GM Holden, and with General Motors and Nissan internationally.
The MTAA says Hobbs has a record of leading successful government relations campaigns and helping leadership to develop corporate strategies that impact the bottom line.
It says his experience includes securing substantial government incentives, developing restructuring plans, asset disposal, business savings, and obtaining favourable industry, trade and regulatory settings.
MTAA chair Frank Agostino says Hobbs' attributes "will be critical for MTAA, particularly given the anticipated changes and disruption the industry will experience as we transition to an electric vehicle fleet".
Hobbs will work closely with MTAA member bodies, the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce and the motor trade associations of WA, NSW, SA/NT, and Queensland.
The role's central focus will, be working with member bodies, and with the industry and government.
The MTA says developing high-quality policy and industry submissions to governments, along with building strong relationships between MTAA and policymakers, will be priority actions
