Business

TERRAIN Tamer has appointed Brent Hutchinson, pictured, as general manager.
The company deals in spare parts for four-wheel-drive vehicles.
He will be in charge of the Australian headquarters and its international branches, including the PNG branch which opened earlier this year.
He takes over from his father and company co-founder Frank Hutchinson, and retired Jim Dean.
“It is an honour to follow in the footsteps of two great mentors as I embrace this new leadership role,” he said.
“We are in the fortunate position to have members of our senior management team who are reasonably young. But all have over 20 years’ experience with the company – something that only occurs when you train and promote from within.
“We have all benefited immensely from many years of mentoring from the best brains in the business.
“I’m proud to say that developing specialist 4WD spare parts, with a commitment to good old-fashioned customer service, is in my DNA too. And I intend to honour their legacy at every turn.”
He comes to the role with a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master in Business Administration.
He has worked for 18 years in various roles in the company, including three years in manufacturing and warehousing, three in sales, and 12 years as marketing manager.
