Winner: Mark McCarthy

MARK McCarthy has been a constant and visible leader in the log transport sector for more than 50 years. He is included in the NZ Road Transport Hall of Fame and has proven his influence on many national boards and committees.

Under his guidance, McCarthy Transport has grown into a hugely successful business and contributor to the lower North Island economy.

It employs hundreds of staff and mobilises a fleet of hundreds of logging trucks.

Mark has been greatly involved in community events, and more recently you will see him at locally run ‘‘Wood is Good’’ school days, showing children around log trucks and inspiring the next generation of drivers.

Mark and his leadership of McCarthy Transport have been a force for improvements in productivity, safety, and integrity within the sector.

His quiet manner and mana are apparent to all those that know him, and Southern North Island Wood Council wishes to acknowledge his life-long contribution to the forest sector with a trophy presented by Duncan Oakley and sponsors Kiwi Lumber.
