APRIL 2026
Meet our April Member Spotlight, Jenny Wilson, HVIA National Events Coordinator. Jenny joined the Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) team in 2024 and quickly became part of delivering one of the industry’s biggest events, supporting her first Brisbane Truck Show in 2025. While new to the show itself, Jenny brings a wealth of experience in event management, having previously worked alongside Noelene (now retired) and Kay at Moreton Hire for over a decade. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Recreation Management from Griffith University, with a focus on community leisure, facility management and event planning. Prior to HVIA, Jenny spent more than ten years with an accredited training organisation, where she played a key role in promoting, scheduling and coordinating training programs, managing participants, and organising trainers and venues. Her strong skills in multitasking, attention to detail and meeting deadlines have seamlessly transferred into the fast-paced world of large-scale event delivery, including the Brisbane Truck Show and other industry events. Jenny is passionate about building strong relationships with stakeholders to achieve positive, collaborative outcomes—and when she’s not working, you’ll likely find her on the pickleball court, where she admits she’s well and truly hooked. Welcome Jenny 👏
