We’re pleased to welcome Mary Rogers to Kinaxia as Business Development Manager.

Mary joins the business with a strong background in Education and Apprenticeships, having worked across a wide range of sectors to support workforce development, skills growth, and business performance. Throughout her career, she has partnered with organisations across multiple industries, including Transport and Logistics, helping businesses identify talent development opportunities and achieve their strategic objectives.

Outside of work, Mary is a proud mum to three daughters, who certainly keep her busy. Much of her spare time is spent at racetracks across the country supporting her daughters, who compete in stock car racing. With a passion for motorsport both professionally and personally, weekends are often dedicated to racing, family time, and cheering on her daughters from the sidelines.
