One major change that has taken place this past year since the owners hui is that upon further review of our Strategic Plan and Whenua Advisory Service Uplift Plan, we decided it was the right time to separate the operations and governance roles further.
This resulted in our long-serving Chair and Orchard Assets Manager Enoka Waiari offering his retirement from the role of Chair and being freed up to focus solely on Orchard operations.
We want to acknowledge all of the hard work that Enoka has put into both of these roles through the years since Ron retired from Ongare and officially announce the appointment of Parewhati Taikato as the Chair of Ongare moving forward whilst Enoka remains focused on the Orchard operations.
