Our People

Phillip is a devoted member of the community and is involved in many hapu activities. His leadership has been demonstrated through various projects from sports to social services, religion and Marae development. He brings vast experience in governance and senior management having held positions such as CEO of a large maori organisation managing sizeable budgets and high performance teams. 

Further, he has played an active role in the raupatu journey and will provide much needed guidance through the establishment phase of this trust. His experience and knowledge, combined with his obvious affinity for hapu development made Phillip an obvious choice for chair, elected unanimously by his fellow trustees.
