Keep On Moving

Rafael Alvarenga arrived in New Zealand with his family in the middle of our second Covid lockdown in late 2021. That in itself would be a shock to the senses for anyone, but Rafael had to take up the role as managing director at Scania NZ. Dave McCoid caught up with him one year on.

Thousands have trusted their livelihoods – and probably lives – to the Ringfeder brand over the decades. Dave McCoid was lucky to nab VBG Group commercial director Niko Verstockt, recently in NewZealand for a whirlwind visit, for a relaxed and chatty 20 minutes.

This is the first of the new-look Keep On Moving Podcast with Dave McCoid talking with people from the transport industry...

THIS EPISODE :

The man behind the grassy knoll, the essential figure always in the shadows; how such a larger-than-life personality was always able to remain one step to the right of the spotlight is either a mystery of the universe or sublime execution. Chris Savage has been so entwined in the road transport industry’s recent history, been a part of so many of the big moments, and known many of the great personalities. Sit back, make yourself comfortable, and enjoy the Chris Savage interview – one man’s life in the trucking game told as only this incredibly charismatic, engaging, and fun character could.
