OFFICE: NZR: Resignation of Refining NZ project director
Refining NZ (NZR) has today announced that Te Mahi Hou project director, Jack
Ariel, is leaving the Company to be closer to his family in the United
States.
Effective from 28 August 2015, the project director role will be assumed by
David Cunningham, a senior member of the team who has worked alongside the
project director since the $365 million Te Mahi Hou project began in April
2012. He will work with the CEO and the project team to ensure the project
is successfully commissioned in November, 2015.
Commenting, CEO Sjoerd Post said: "Jack Ariel has been a good friend and
counsel over the past couple of years. While I am sorry to see him leave
prior to the project's completion, with Te Mahi Hou now around 95 per cent
complete and entering the pre-commissioning phase, we expect the transition
to a new director to be "business-as-usual" for the project team and the
Company."
