Addition to MITO’s team

Daniel Boyd has joined MITO as group manager of qualifications after being operations manager at the Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association (LVVTA) for almost two years.

He says stepping down from his role at the LVVTA – and RepairCert NZ – wasn’t an easy decision, but came with a great deal of reflection, gratitude and optimism for the organisation’s future.

“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside an exceptional team. They are people who are deeply committed to safety and technical excellence, and supporting LVV certifiers and New Zealand’s vehicle enthusiast community,” adds Boyd, pictured.

“From tackling complex certification challenges to collaborating with certifiers, builders and everyday car lovers, my time at the LVVTA has been marked by constant learning, memorable conversations and countless examples of Kiwi ingenuity. 

“I leave with full confidence in the team and the important work it continues to do. I look forward to seeing the organisation evolve and achieve even greater things in the years ahead.”

Ken McAdam, chief executive officer of the LVVTA, says: “During his time with us, Daniel was a big part of strengthening our operational systems and helping drive improvements across both organisations. His leadership, industry knowledge and practical approach have been greatly appreciated, especially through periods of growth and change. 

“On a personal level, we have enjoyed working with Daniel and are sad to see him go. We wish him all the best and hope he finds some time to keep working on his fourth-generation Holden HT restoration project along the way.”
