John works for Giltrap Group, an automotive import, retail & rental business employing around
1,000 people across Aotearoa. John is currently responsible for capability (incl L&D and talent),
wellbeing, health & safety and DE&I. This role is fundamentally about supporting people at Giltrap
to reach their potential, optimise their wellbeing & be able to express themselves in a true &
authentic way at work.
Having worked in a number of industries (& across a number of cultures/countries) before landing in
the world of motor vehicles, John has a strong sense of what people want in order to feel good
about themselves & at work. John has led Giltrap Group’s partnership with Groov from the start and
works closely with them on the development & implementation of the workplace science strategy.

Volunteering has always been important to John to support his own wellbeing & growth. He has
worked with Project K, Cleft NZ & University of Auckland in the past to provide service to others.
