ARC Chairman Mike Lee has congratulated the government on its appointment of Auckland Transition Agency Executive Chairman Mark Ford, and is pledging his full cooperation with the work of the agency.

He has undertaken successful leadership roles as chief executive of the Auckland Regional Services Trust and Watercare Services, and as chair of the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA). He has held these positions during very challenging times for all of those organisations.
