About Michael
Originally from London, I moved to New Zealand as a teenager. I started my career in finance and after marrying my wife Lucy we moved back to her hometown Whanganui to raise a family. We have three wonderful children and for the last decade I have been consulting with leaders around transforming organisations to increase employee and customer value. I recently invested in myself and obtained an Executive MBA from Massey University.
MichaelsPassions
I love business. I do. I admit it. There is something about seeing the delight on small business owners faces when they achieve something great, when employees come to work every day with a smile and when customers are delighted with the companies they buy from. I work closely with Whanganui & Partners with the local start up community, including mentoring last years winner of Innovate.
Hold Me Accountable

As a councillor, I am in a servant leadership role. It is my job to find those impacted and relay the complexity so that YOU can make the decision.True Transparency
I will do the heavy lifting to give you the truth and will be 100% transparent with what I am involved with as part of my role as counselor.
Where Am I?I am the chief vision officer of a Whanganui based business.
We have offices in Whanganui and in Wellington. However, I can be found at my office 1/30 Drews Avenue. My calendar is open for Surge and for council.
