New independent director appointed to Alliance Group Board

Alliance Group has appointed Chris Day to its Board.

Mr Day is an independent director with an extensive corporate and governance background.

He currently sits on the boards of Datacom and the Institute of Directors. He has previously been interim chief executive of New Zealand Green Investment Finance and a director of Christchurch City Holdings and Centreport.

Alliance Group chair Mark Wynne said Mr Day will bring valuable expertise to the Board.

“He has significant experience in transformation and finance, along with a strong ability to provide an independent perspective.”

Mr Day will chair Alliance’s Audit and Risk and Capital committees.

He replaces Simon Robertson, who will step down from the Board at the end of March.

“I would like to thank Simon for his dedication and contribution to Alliance’s Board over the past three and a half years,” said Mr Wynne.

“He has been a highly engaged and valued member of the Board. As chair of our Audit and Risk, Enterprise Resource Planning, and Capital committees, his breadth of knowledge, keen insight and ability to navigate complex issues have been exceptional.”

Mr Day said he is pleased to be joining the Alliance Board.

“I look forward to contributing my experience to help shape the future of this iconic New Zealand business.”
