Mr Skellern is currently head of Industrial for Manheim Australia and has a career spanning more than 30 years of experience in the farm machinery business.
Manheim Australia congratulated Mr Skellern for being appointed to the TMA board and said the association will benefit from his “broad background and skills with expertise in both retail and wholesale looking at different markets across all verticals”.
In a statement, TMA said: “Richard brings a diverse background to the board. Not only is he heavily engaged in the machinery remarketing business, but Richard also has extensive experience in the farm machinery dealership sector having most recently started Total Ag Solutions in Central & Southern NSW.”
Mr Bett is currently brand leader at Case IH ANZ. He joined parent company CNH Industrial six-and-a-half years ago and led CNH Industrial Capital ANZ for more than three years.
“Aaron has been involved with agriculture all his life and will be a great addition to the board,” said TMA.
Mr Fendyk is currently group general manager of Burder AG Attachments and TMA said his long experience as a local manufacturer “brings a complementary perspective to the board”
“He has been group GM for 18 years now and among his many achievements, has established an Indian-based front end loader manufacturing facility.”
The association represents importers, manufacturers and sellers of agricultural tractors and machinery in Australia and was established more than 70 years ago as the industry’s voice on issues relating to safety, training, regulation and market statistics.
“Each of these appointments is of an outstanding quality and sure to benefit the industry now and into the future,” said the TMA.
