Exciting times at Pukaha with a new face soon to join us!

Pukaha Mount Bruce will next month welcome Helen Tickner as its new general manager. The appointment is part of wider changes at Pukaha with the Pukaha Mount Bruce board taking over responsibility for the visitor centre and education programmes from the Department of Conservation.

Helen has a vast amount of experience in the tourism industry and has been heavily involved in the community. Helen will come to Pukaha from her current role as Member Services Manager at tourism agency Destination Wairarapa.

Bob Francis, Pukaha Mount Bruce Chairman was delighted with the appointing saying “Helen brings a comprehensive and exciting range of skills that will help further build visitor and educational experiences”.

Helen is very much looking forward to her new role which provides her an exciting opportunity to work in a very special tourism operation that she already has a passion for.

Bob Francis recognised the significance of the move for Pukaha, saying “While it is the end of an era it is also the start of an exciting new phase for the Pukaha visitor operation which has been very well-served by DoC for the past 30 years”.

We hope you will join us in welcoming Helen and come and see us soon!
