Rolling Forward with SEQH

Episode 22 | Built for the Fourth Box

In this episode of Rolling Forward, we bring back Port of Brisbane’s Nicola and NHVR’s Lazlo "Les" Bruzsa and Josh Diyn to unpack the story behind the Super-A, a first-of-its-kind combination officially launched in December 2025 design to go heavy or go home. This conversation goes beyond the launch itself and into the real work behind innovation in transport: the early concept drawings, the challenge of weight distribution, the collaboration with truck and trailer manufacturers, road and pavement assessments, safety simulations, field testing, and the unexpected design changes needed along the way. The episode also explores the wider significance of the Super-A within the Port of Brisbane ecosystem: productivity gains, fewer truck movements, easing driver shortages, improving freight efficiency, and even supporting lower emissions over time.

Episode 21 | A Toilet Paper Scenario All Over Again

In this episode of Rolling Forward, We go back to our original setting: Brett and Nathan having a chat.

Brett and Nate express their knowledge and opinion in a conversation that breaks down the forces driving price volatility and uncertainty across the industry, as well as some advises for all Australians; Think about the farmers. The team explores the ripple effects of fuel shortages, panic buying, and supply chain pressure, and why the situation is hitting regional Australia particularly hard.

Episode 20 | A Man's Best Friend

In this episode of Rolling Forward, Brett and Nathan sit down with Tony O’Connell, Vice President of Mack Trucks Australia & New Zealand, and Steve Helms, Senior Account Manager, to reflect on their partnership built over nearly two decades on loyalty, pressure, setbacks, and progress. In this conversation about pushing the envelope, Truck development, redesigns, engineering breakthroughs, and the hard lessons, we talk about the tough years, the COVID supply chain chaos, the honest conversations that had to happen, and why standing shoulder-to-shoulder matters more than getting everything right the first time. This episode is one big recipe for innovation: Operator and manufacturer not just doing business but building together.

Episode 19 | The Trucks That Won't Wake the Neighbours

We’re joined by Matt and Corbin from Volvo Group Australia! On our second episode outside SEQH HQ, we unpack what electrification actually looks like on Australian roads, beyond the hype, the politics, and the assumptions. Matt and Corbin, ex-truck drivers turned EV specialists, tell us about the strategies for real-world applications at ports, DCs, waste routes, and metro deliveries, diving into: * What makes an electric truck work (and when it doesn’t) * Why fit-for-purpose beats ideology * Noise, air quality, and why cities feel different when trucks go quiet * The hidden wins: idle time, driver experience, extended delivery windows * How early adopters are shaping the future without betting the business There’s no silver bullet here, but an open group of minds with a very clear aim: putting the right asset in the right application.

Episode 17 | From Good to Great: Accountability, Culture & Real Change

In Episode 17 of Rolling Forward, Brett and Nathan sit down with Jennifer Elliott, founder of Integrity & Values, to unpack what leadership really demands, especially in industries like transport and logistics where pressure, consequences, and pace are part of daily life.   Jennifer shares lessons from decades of coaching leaders: why the hardest part of leadership is leading yourself, how real growth requires uncomfortable self-reflection, and why high-performing teams are built on one non-negotiable currency — telling the truth. The conversation explores accountability without ego, “good to great” change, and how leaders create cultures where people feel safe to bring ideas, challenge thinking, and own results.   This is an honest, grounded episode about what it takes to build a business that grows people and how growing people is what ultimately grows performance.
