I have been pleased to act for Alister in his capacity as CEO of various companies since 2000. During that time I have acted for, and worked with, him on a variety of significant matters including:
-
The grooming of the Englefield Bathroomware business for sale
and its sale to Wisconsin based Kohler Co.; -
The purchase for NZPM Group of the Metrix Imports Australian
and New Zealand businesses; -
The review and development of a new share and capital funding structure for NZPM Group, a large cooperative company, and its successful implementation through the issue of a new Prospectus
and the conduct of a nationwide road show to NZPM Group’s
approx. 1000 shareholders; - The opening of NZPM Group’s business operations in India; and
- Legal governance for NZPM Group’s operations in New Zealand, Australia, Thailand and India.
From my perspective Alister is a thoroughly professional businessman. He is a strategic thinker, remains calm under pressure and is a talented problem solver.
Alister understands the importance of business relationships and
has a keen sense of the human factors involved. He is respectful
and supportive of his team and commands their respect and loyalty. He expresses himself in a polite reasoned manner, and makes his expectations clear.
Alister has senior experience in a number of industries. He has strong hands-on international business experience, being thoughtful about the cultural aspects that can arise.
