KiwiRail Director Scott O’Donnell has decided to depart the KiwiRail Board as a new venture will require him to spend more time in Australia, Chair Suzanne Tindal announced today.
“Mr O’Donnell will be thanked for his service at our Board meeting on 24 March, which will be his last day as a KiwiRail director,” Ms Tindal says.
“Mr O’Donnell was the managing director of HW Richardson Group, a large-scale transport, concrete, quarrying, environmental business based in Southland, and we appreciated his commercial focus for KiwiRail’s non-freight operations in particular.
“We wish Mr O’Donnell well for his future,” Ms Tindal says.
