Tulitt joins the company from Transdev Australasia where he was general manager operations for the past three years. He joined the group as fleet controller for Veolia Transport in Auckland starting in late 2012, shortly before it was acquired by Transdev. His roles in both Auckland and Wellington operations have included performance manager, operations manager, fleet controller, project engineer, general manager of operations and acting chief operating officer.

He started out in 1999 as an armament technician with the Royal New Zealand Airforce, leaving in early 2010 to become operations manager for Bombardier Transportation in London.

Speaking of his new role he said: “I changed industries and joined Snorkel New Zealand as I was looking for a new challenge from a professional perspective. Snorkel is a well-known brand, and the opportunity to join a thriving company and contribute to its continued success was too good an opportunity to pass up. The locality of the business also enables me to work closer to home and spend more time with family.”

Chief executive Matthew Elvin said: “We are excited to have Jonno join our team. He is dynamic, energetic and results driven. I am very confident in his ability to combine a hands-on approach with structured business development strategies that will enable him to deliver exceptional results.”
