Arrow Transport has announced the appointment of its new Bulk Operations Manager, Rachel Tamarapa.
Tamarapa joins the business with extensive experience in operations and fleet management across a variety of roles at FBT Transwest, Secon Freight Logistics and Polymer Connect.
Her position at Arrow Transport will be heavily revolved around growing and overseeing the business’ new bulk division.
Tamarapa will be responsible for the efficient and safe transport and handling of polymer resins, bulk liquids and food grade bulk product – ensuring compliance and safety regulations are upheld as well as optimising logistics to ensure timely and cost-effective deliveries.
Tamarapa’s role also has a strong focus building and fostering positive relationships within Arrow Transport and its customers as the fleet moves towards logistic solutions for bulk Dangerous Goods, ISO tanks, flexi bags and sea bulk.
Tamarapa told Trailer she is excited to embark on this new chapter.
“The opportunity to be able to give customers and receivers another logistics option in such a specialised sector is great for everyone,” she said.
“Arrow also brings a national footprint to the table and that means that our customers have a provider that can tick all the boxes.”
Tamarapa also acknowledged the warm introduction she has been given.
“Safety and training has also been paramount, and the support that I have received from everyone at Arrow while implementing new processes and procedures for this specialised field has been extremely positive,” she said.
“There aren’t many transport and logistics companies that have entered the field of handling polymers, and I can already see that Arrow is going to be a real player in this space.
“I am really looking forward to seeing how far we can take this.”
Arrow Transport COO, Troy Angove, was pleased to welcome Tamarapa to the team.
“We are committed to strengthening our leadership team,” he said.
“Rachel’s experience and adaptability brings great energy to our growth strategy, aligning perfectly with Arrow’s fast-paced, results-driven mentality of getting things done.”
