Mainfreight Appoints Jason Braid as Regional Manager Americas
Mainfreight is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Braid as Regional Manager for the Americas, replacing John Hepworth who has taken the decision to retire from the business effective 30 September 2021.
Jason has been with Mainfreight for over 20 years, and has held a variety of sales, operational and management roles during this time, within different parts of the business and across New Zealand, the United States and the Netherlands.

We are extremely fortunate to have had several exceptional internal candidates to make our selection from, which is an endorsement of our focus on growing our people, providing long-term careers and promoting internally.
We thank John Hepworth once again for his substantial contribution to the success of Mainfreight during his 22 years with the business.
