Freight Transport Association Ireland’s newly-appointed General Manager says he looks forward to “launching exciting new projects in 2017” and striving to make FTAI the “most admired and influential membership trade association” in Ireland.
Aidan Flynn, 43, who was previously Business Services Manager, took up the post from 3 January following the departure in September of Neil McDonnell, who had been with organisation for three years.
Mr Flynn says: “I am honoured and extremely proud to be chosen to lead the FTA Ireland team.
“I have worked with FTAI since the formative years of the Association in Ireland and together we have established a viable trade association in the midst of the worst economic recession in our country’s recent history, and have done so by promoting safety and compliance requirements to fleet operators.”
Before joining FTAI, Mr Flynn held a number of senior leadership positions within the transport and logistics sector in Ireland. These included the establishment of a dedicated commercial fleet training business, health and safety and risk management consultancy and road safety initiatives.
“One of my key strengths is relationship building and I thrive on working with the members, promoting our services and listening to their issues. I am committed to ensuring that all of us at FTAI work tirelessly to meet our vision to be the most admired and influential membership trade association in Ireland and the undisputed voice of the supply chain with the public and Government,” he said.
