Mr Thomson has been active in the corrosion industry for several years and will be relocating from Auckland, New Zealand (NZ) to Loganholme, Queensland as part of the transition into his new role.
Over the past few years Mr Thomson has been the Market Development Manager for Australia and NZ for Anode Engineering Ltd in addition to managing Anode Engineering’s NZ supply company, Lordco (CWG) New Zealand Ltd.
As he commences his new role in the company, Mr Thomson will be relinquishing his chairmanship of the Auckland division of the Australian Corrosion Association (ACA), NZ Branch Committee Membership and NZ representation on the ACA council.
He will no doubt become a familiar face in the Queensland ACA branch.
Mr Thomson started out in the nuclear industry as a Mechanical Engineer and subsequently went on to work in the chemical process and packaging industries.
He has worked in South Africa, Italy, New Zealand and Australia and completed an MBA at Auckland University in 2007.
With this experience working in a variety of countries, industries and roles, Mr Thomson is comfortable in the industrial environment and enjoys engaging with people from all manner of backgrounds.
The team at Anode Engineering and Lordco extend a personal welcome to Wayne “Tomo” Thomson, his wife Jo and their girls and look forward to beginning the next chapter for Anode Engineering.
Wayne Burns will be assuming the role of group chairman.
