The Australian Trucking Association (ATA)
has revealed the winners of the 2013 Cummins South Pacific TMC scholarships.
They are Wymap Group Company Mechanic Jake Gulliver, Hardy’s Haulage Workshop Foreman Lucas McCoombes and K&S Freighters Apprentice Mechanic Giles Kent.
The scholarships were open to Australian service technicians under the age of 25. This is the second time Cummins has offered the scholarships, following the success of the program in 2012.
Each scholarship recipient will receive one full delegate registration to the 2013 PACCAR & Dealer TMC, including attendance at the Castrol Awards Dinner at the Peninsula at Central Pier and the ALLRig Funhouse at the Fox Classic Car Collection, as well as accommodation.
“Cummins South Pacific is proud to be partnered with the ATA in this valuable initiative, and we think it’s a great way to encourage our younger people in the transport industry to participate in the main technical forum each year,” Cummins Automotive Sales and Customer Support Manager Col Baker says.
“To have our young service technicians meeting and learning from the legends of our industry is an invaluable experience.
“This scholarship helps young people across Australia to broaden their product knowledge, develop their skills, meet suppliers and make connections in the industry.”
Two of the three 2012 scholarship recipients have already registered to return for TMC2013, including heavy vehicle automotive mechanic William Ash from Mann’s Transport in Goondiwindi.
