He was a key figure for many years with the BAR’s Overseas Group Council and, more especially, with the Mover’s Trading Club which worked closely with OSA (Overseas Shippers Association) to negotiate shipping rates for OMNI and BAR members. Moore continued to work with the MTC until his retirement in 2018.
