Scott Hughes has been appointed as Hills Tankers’ new National Fleet Maintenance Manager.
Hughes has extensive experience in the transport industry.
He began working as an apprentice mechanic in 1999 which led to a technician role in repairing Mack prime movers.
From there, Hughes went on to spend 24 years at Volvo Group Australia in a variety of sales and managing roles.
He also served as Service Manager at Daimler Trucks Newcastle between September 2024 and February 2025.
