New members join Port Taranaki board
Port Taranaki has welcomed two new directors to its board, as well as a chair, following the retirement of two long-serving members.
The newly appointed board chair is Jeff Kendrew, who takes over after the departure of Richard Krogh, who held the position since 2019, following his appointment to the board seven years earlier.
Krogh retired from his directorship in June, following in the footsteps of David MacLeod, who had been on the board since 2001, before he stepped down earlier this year.
Kendrew said Krogh and MacLeod had been “hugely influential in the success of Port Taranaki across the past two decades”.
Two new directors have also been announced, with lawyer Wendie Harvey and business executive Steve Sanderson appointed.

Harvey is a director of TAB New Zealand, the chair of Hawke’s Bay Airport and was recently appointed to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Recovery Agency, set up in response to Cyclone Gabrielle.
Sanderson is the former chief executive of Wellington International Airport, former general manager of Powerco Energy Services, and held a similar position at the Lyttelton Port Company.
