Three new Independent Directors appointed to HBRIC Ltd

Media Release

26 April 2017

Three new Independent Directors appointed to HBRIC Ltd

The Hawke’s Bay Regional Council has appointed three additional independent directors to its investment company HBRIC Ltd, to help drive future economic development in the region according to Council Chairman Rex Graham.

At today’s Council meeting former All Black Taine Randell, former Napier MP Chris Tremain and Moore Stephens Markhams Managing Director Dan Druzianic were appointed to the HBRIC Ltd Board.

Mr Graham says the trio are some of ‘Hawke’s Bay’s best’ and will refresh and reinvigorate the board when they join next month.

“Part of the Regional Council’s role is to drive economic development in the region and we believe having these three experienced local business people on the HBRIC Board will help produce some exciting plans for our region’s future,” says Mr Graham.

He says the triple appointment will also effectively manage succession planning, with the current interim chairman, Sam Robinson stepping down as chairman at the end of June and another director retiring in the next 12 months.

The Council confirmed today that Chris Tremain will take over as Chairman when Mr Robinson steps down from the role at the end of June.

The three new directors are:

• Former All Black Taine Randell, who is also a director on a number of other boards including the Kahungunu Asset Holding Company, Hawke’s Bay Airport Limited and the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union.

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
