Fred became the firm's sole director/partner in October 2017 and appointed the senior management team made up of Melanie, Rangi, June, Susan & Gwen to focus on maintaining our excellent client relationships, high quality outputs across all of our range of services and to assist in providing support and guidance to our growing practice team.

Fred is relishing the challenge of leadership in a demanding profession with an effective, highly skilled and experienced team working with him. The whanau is also growing with eight mokopuna and soon to be nine, Fred & wife Alison have a big team to look after.

Fred's favourite whakatauki/proverb:

"E kore, he ngaro ai te tangata, he takere wakanui ki a tatou"

"The people will never end, we form the hull of this great canoe"
