Michael Booker joins Freighter Group

Freighter Group has welcomed back Michael Booker as Bulk Sales Manager.

Booker first joined Freighter Group in 2007 as Tipper Sales Specialist for Victoria and Tasmania and spent the next nine-and-a-half years specialising in the company’s bulk product brands.

He departed from the business in 2016 to join Barker Trailers as Area Manager in Victoria where he would provide external sales of trailers and truck bodies to new and existing customers.

In November of 2019, Booker joined Bruce Rock Engineering and served as Sales Manager for more than six years.

He now returns to the same business he spent his first 10 years in the industry with 20 total years of experience.

“It feels great to be back, and Freighter Group has been very welcoming,” Booker told Trailer.

“Returning to the place where I started my career, but seeing how much it has evolved is fantastic.”

Booker noted that the business he returned to is more capable than ever.

“Since I left, the investment has been massive, from the manufacturing upgrades in Ballarat to the state-of-the-art dealership in Brooklyn,” he told Trailer.

“It truly feels ‘Ready’ to deliver on every level.”

In his new role, Booker will be responsible for providing specialised sales and support for the Hamelex White, Lusty EMS and Trout River product ranges across Victoria and Tasmania – brands which seamlessly service the infrastructure, agriculture, mining and waste segments.

“I’m very excited to reconnect with these brands,” he told Trailer.

“I’m looking forward to meeting with customers and colleagues, both old and new, and supplying them with various tippers and live bottom trailers.”
