Freshmax Appoints new CEO New Zealand

Andrew Common has returned to the Freshmax Group as CEO New Zealand, taking over from Geoff Taylor. Andrew has an extensive track record in produce and also within the Freshmax Group.

"When Murray approached me to discuss the possibility of returning to the Freshmax Group, I was certainly very interested. The company has progressed well in recent years and is well set up for future growth and expansion in the near future." Says Common "I am now a few weeks in the seat and already I have been impressed by the enthusiasm and professionalism across the New Zealand team."

"I have challenged Andrew to maintain our group wide drive for stronger unity and collaboration across our group subsidiaries," states Murray McCallum, Group CEO "something that I am sure he will achieve with great success."
