NPI appoints deputy Chief ExecutiveFriday 17 Feb 2012 Former Tasman Rugby Union chief executive Peter Barr has been appointed deputy chief executive of Nelson Pine Industries (NPI) in a move the company says sets in place a succession management plan. Managing Director Murray Sturgeon said it was imperative that NPI, one of the world's largest single-site producers of medium-density fibreboard, had such a plan in place.Mr Barr, 57, will report to long-serving chief executive Chris Turner, who has been with NPI for 25 years. He left the rugby union before Christmas after four years in the top job during which he was credited with turning around its financial performance to the point where it was making a profit, setting it apart from the majority of New Zealand's top-flight unions. NPI, based in Nelson, New Zealand, employs more than 200 people. It is wholly owned by Japan's Sumitomo Forestry and exports MDF and Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) to markets around the world.  |
