3 Welcome 1 From the President MTA has represented automotive professionals, and supported and protected the interests of the motoring public for almost 100 years. The organisation continues to be the hub of New Zealand s automotive industry, representing 4,000 automotive professionals from general repair workshops, vehicle sales and service stations through to specialists operating in a diverse range of automotive fields. Our mission remains unchanged, 100 years on, to create sustainable business advantage for members and to help the motoring public. Our corporate partners play an essential role in helping MTA to deliver on its mission. I invite you to join us at the annual MTA conference. It s an exceptional opportunity to build relationships with our members and to celebrate the Mana of our brand. Kind regards David Storey Motor Trade Association President

4 Welcome From MTA s Chief Executive MTA provides New Zealand s community of automotive professionals advice, support and education to make a positive contribution to motoring in New Zealand. We help them run better businesses, bring them great services, products and industry training, to increase the standard of service for New Zealand s motorists. Our roads, and how we move on them, are what bring us together. This is an industry based on relationships: between millions of customers, thousands of businesses, and our select group of corporate partners. This conference we hope our best one yet is one of the many results of these partnerships. We look forward to seeing you there. Kind regards Rob MacGregor Motor Trade Association Chief Executive

5 Welcome 3 From Canterbury Branch President MTA is an organisation focussed on helping members adapt to a changing world and the members of the Christchurch Branch have become experts in the unexpected in the last few years. During the rebuild, people have pulled together to get things done, repair this city, and make a place that will thrive well into the next century. We want you, our corporate partners, there with us, for this conference, and for the long haul. The earthquake and its aftermath tested us, our communities and our businesses. Now, the Christchurch rebuild is well underway. Things have changed, but we re still here. From the city s parks and gardens, to our museums, nightlife and shopping districts, we ve got something for everyone and it s all new. Kind regards Joris Sanders Motor Trade Association Canterbury Branch President
