New Zealand’s biggest automotive aftermarket parts supplier, Genuine Parts Company (GPC), parent of Repco and Napa brands, has announced the appointment of Clarke Hill as general manager logistics.
Hill brings more than a decade of experience including senior executive roles at Musgraves, the leading Irish supermarket chain, and more recently here in New Zealand as distribution and fulfilment operations manager with The Warehouse Group.
With a wealth of experience in supply chain, Hill will be responsible for leading Repco and Napa’s supply chain operations across its five distribution centres, including inventory replenishment to more than 120 stores around the country.
GPC NZ executive general manager Jonathon Maddren said: “Clarke is one of the leading experts in New Zealand for DC operations, online fulfilment and implementing state-of-the-art warehouse management systems. He will be leading the biggest supply chain project we’ve ever undertaken, building one of the most technologically advanced distribution centres in the southern hemisphere.”
A self-confessed car enthusiast, Hill said he was, “excited to be part of a strategic, leading-edge infrastructure build and GPC’s vision for a centrally located logistics hub to drive greater supply chain efficiency and increased service for our customers,” Hill said.
