We are delighted to announce that Bruce Muldrew officially joined us as Chief Executive Officer on 1 December 2025.
This marks an exciting new chapter for our company as we look ahead to a future of growth, innovation, and strengthened community connections.
Bruce will be based at our Waitaki branch, reconnecting with the region he knows well as a past Oamaru-vian. His return to Waitaki is more than a professional move – it’s a homecoming.
While Bruce brings extensive leadership experience, what truly stands out is his understanding of the values that matter most to our business and communities. That local insight, combined with his strategic vision, will help us continue to deliver exceptional service while staying true to the principles that define us.
Our operations span far beyond Waitaki, and Bruce’s leadership will ensure we remain strong and connected across every region where we work.
This appointment comes at a time of opportunity for our organisation. We have achieved significant milestones in recent years, and we are now focused on building on that momentum.
Under Bruce’s guidance, we will continue to invest in our people, embrace innovation, and deepen our engagement with clients and stakeholders throughout the South Island.
As we welcome Bruce, we also take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our outgoing CEO, Paul Bisset. Paul’s leadership and dedication have been instrumental in guiding our organisation through a period of growth and transformation. His contribution has left a lasting impact, and we wish him all the very best for the future.
Please join us in welcoming Bruce Muldrew to the role. His leadership will guide us into 2026 and beyond, as we continue to deliver outstanding results for our clients and make a positive impact in the communities we call home.
