HVIA CEO Todd Hacking welcomes Crawford to the association’s board.
“The breadth of Miles’ experience will be a great asset to our Board; particularly noting how he has been applying his passion and knowledge with CMV Group in the areas of technology, transformation and people,” Hacking says.
“Representing the full life cycle of heavy vehicles, dealerships and their service centres are a strong growth area in our membership.
“While we have a very strong value proposition across all sectors of the heavy vehicle industry, we continue to build on that to ensure our efforts are focused on the things that enable and drive the industry’s growth and prosperity.
“That includes ensuring that the case for fleet renewal is strongly advocated, particularly to ensure that safety technologies are universally adopted.
“Miles also brings fresh insights into workforce and career path development and a passion for developing our industry’s skills and resources.”
