In what is a major development for the Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association, highly respected industry advocate John Park is to commence on 18 June 2019 as the alliance's Head of Business Operations.
FTA is a leading industry body representing 350 major importers and freight forwarding businesses and serves as Secretariat to APSA being the peak body as designated by the Federal Minister of Infrastructure and Transport to protect the interests of Australia's cargo owners and shippers in respect to shipping and international logistics services.
Paul Zalai, Director and co-founder of FTA, announced in a member notice earlier today that Mr Park will support members nationally on operational matters, will manage the alliance's growing number of members in Western Australia and will advocate for positive reform on operational and policy committees.
Mr Zalai stated "At a personal level, I have had the privilege of working alongside John in various capacities for over 25 years and am excited in knowing the tremendous value that he will add to our administrative and advocacy team." |

This has undermined the US Dollar, with the EUR rising to 1.1330, while the GBP moved up to 1.2730. ... read more
