Park makes appointments
Two appointments were
confirmed at a meeting of the regional Sports Park Trust
held in Hastings yesterday.
Jock Mackintosh has been appointed Chief Executive and N-Compass has been appointed as project managers.
Previously Mr Mackintosh has been contracted to the Trust as its communications advisor and N-Compass worked alongside Kelt Capital in its previous role as project manager and fundraiser for the Park.
“Mr Mackintosh’s experience is primarily in communications but he also has a good understanding of the construction and fundraising sectors. These are exactly the skills we require at this stage of the Park’s development so we’re very pleased with his appointment,” says Sports Park Trustee Rex Graham.
Mr Mackintosh grew up in Hawke’s Bay and shifted back here two years ago, having spent the previous 18 years in Wellington. He was communication’s advisor to the Wellington region’s economic growth strategy and ran his own consultancy for nine years.
“This has got to be the best job in Hawke’s Bay’” says Mr Mackintosh. “I’ve spoken to hundreds of people in the past month and there’s overwhelming support for the Park and its programmes. We’ve got the opportunity to make it a reality,” he says.
N-Compass has been involved in the Sports Park development for two years and its continued involvement will ensure the construction programme remains on track.
N-Compass has a strong track record in sports and community projects including the multi-purpose Trust Stadium in Waitakere and the Claudelands Events centre in Hamilton.
