NZ: Te Awanui Huka Pak gains Seeka board seat
John Burke, a current independent director of the Tauranga-based and Maori-owned kiwifruit business, has been voted on to the Seeka board of directors, said Te Awanui Huka Pak chairman Neil Te Kani.
"We are delighted and congratulate John on this fantastic result. It is great to have somebody of John's caliber on the Seeka board and with such a strong endorsement of 96% of the shareholders," said Mr Te Kani.
Mr Burke joins Taari Nicholas, also a Te Awanui Hukapak director on Seeka.
Te Awanui Huka Pak has the largest share in Seeka - 17%. As a result of his appointment Mr Burke has resigned from Hukapak and has been replaced by Bruce Cameron.
Bruce is a kiwifruit grower and is a director of Zespri and Zespri International.
"We know that John's huge contribution to Te Awanui will not be lost and Bruce will bring a new dynamic, diversity and connectivity to the board table."
