"Matthew’s extensive knowledge of our stakeholders and industry will be invaluable as we are implementing our vision set out in our 2017-2020 Strategic Plan. Matthew and his team will actively contribute to drive innovation and deliver an adaptable, connected future,” he said.

Before joining ARRB, Matthew was Manager of National Harmonisation with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) where he was leading the National Harmonisation Program Team to deliver on Transport and Infrastructure Council, and NHVR priorities.  Matthew has worked on major projects for the European Commission and the OECD, where he gained specialised knowledge of heavy vehicle infrastructural (road and bridge) impacts.
