ATRAX Vice President wins Distinguished Exporter Award
Ian Walton, Vice President at Auckland based ATRAX Group achieved a double success this week. He arrived at the New Zealand School of Export to be awarded the internationally accredited Diploma of International Trade and was surprised to also receive the School’s ‘2009 Distinguished Exporter’ Award.
Ian has been studying for the Diploma since February of last year, juggling his assessments with a punishing schedule which has him travelling to export markets all over the world. Atrax, which is world leader in the Design, Manufacture, Integration and Support of Industrial Weighing, Measurement, and Control systems for the Airport and Logistics industries entered its 91st export market earlier this month – which is testament to Ian’s hard work.
New Zealand School of Export Director Dr Romuald Rudzki says: “Atrax is a wonderful example of a New Zealand company with world-class products and Ian has been responsible for continuing to grow Atrax’s sales internationally. His ability, professionalism and knowledge gained from many years on the road are second to none – that is why he truly deserved the 2009 Distinguished Exporter award’”.
Ian, who follows in the footsteps of 2008 winner Trevor Millar of Cowell’s Pavlova Kitchen, says: “The Distinguished Exporter Award was just the icing on the cake after 2 years of study towards the Diploma. The level of support from the School of Export was of a very high standard and I would recommend this course to any company already in the export field or contemplating entering this highly competitive arena”.
