Wayne Shepherd
Group Executive Business Development

What do you do at ANC?

My role at ANC is to ensure that our solutions improve the daily lives of our major clients. These solutions must drive client sales and deliver rock solid outcomes so the clients can focus on where they’re going and not where they’ve been.

Transport career experience?

I’ve spent most of my career in transport, retail sales and management when running my own business. I’ve been with ANC since 1993, but my time as an apprentice tool maker (yes, some time ago) taught me the importance of hard work, manufacturing and process flow – all critical elements of my role today, especially flow.

Favourite part of your job?

Learning about client businesses and coming up with real solutions. I love watching clients enjoy the light bulb moment when they realise we have come through the challenges and nailed the solution.

How would you describe ANC if it was a person?

Generous, nurturing, caring, fun and values long-term relationships. Fiercely loyal and committed – wants to be treated fairly and will do everything possible to ensure all partners get more than they expected out of the relationship.

What do you like to do when you are not working?

I love spending time with family and friends, camping, eating out and riding my Harley into the hills or along the coast with my wife. I am passionate about life, family, cars and bikes.

How do you help ANC deliver extraordinary experiences?

Building trust with clients and finding the answer everyone else said was impossible. This means meeting regularly with them, and my fantastic team. We become part of the client’s business, measure performance and drive improvements over the long term – including a fair return to our dedicated delivery drivers. I am proud to say we have many major customers than have been with us for 10 years or more.
