The Summerfruit NZ Board appreciates the time taken by those who met with Alasdair or responded to the review survey. Like you, we had hoped that the review timeline could have concluded sooner, but as we all know Covid-19 has played its hand, both for our businesses and for Summerfruit NZ.
The Board has received the initial report from the reviewer. We have carefully considered the report and spent some time working through its recommendations, however we have more work to do on this.
The Board is unanimous in its response to the report and its recommendations so far. We are currently consulting others to test some of our thinking and also clarifying some of the recommendations with Alasdair.
We will come back to you as soon as practicable. The review and the Board’s consideration will be discussed at the AGM.
In the meantime, the Board welcomes any feedback you may have from the review interviews.
Tim Jones, Chairman
Summerfruit New Zealand
