Maniototo farmer Dawn Sangster is retiring from the board of Alliance Group next month after a 12-year tenure. She talks to rural editor Sally Rae about the experience.
She may have been recognised as an Elite Women in Law, but life has not always been easy for Silver Fern Farms’ general counsel and company secretary Melissa Soh-Newstead.
It is a double triumph for Silver Fern Farms with both its chairman Rob Hewett and outgoing chief executive Simon Limmer named as finalists in the Deloitte Top 200 Awards.
Potential further claims may be submitted against a Dunedin construction company which collapsed earlier this year owing more than $2 million, the six-month liquidators report says.
