Independent Directors appointed

Hamish Bell and Greg Barclay have been appointed as Independent Directors to the Boffa Miskell Board.

As Boffa Miskell’s first Independent Directors, they will bring additional knowledge and skills to the company’s governance. They will supplement our in-house partners’ considerable understanding of Boffa Miskell and its markets, with their independent judgement, outside experience and greater level of objectivity.

Greg Barclay has been appointed as our Independent Chair on the Board. He is an Auckland-based commercial lawyer who has held various legal roles in New Zealand and London over a thirty-year career. Greg is a chartered member of the Institute of Directors and brings extensive experience in commercial governance roles and legal knowledge to the organisation.

Hamish is a professional director who provides commercial advice to large, privately owned businesses through his partnership in Catalyst Advisory Partners. His career has been based in the financial sector, including senior roles in private equity and banking in Asia and New Zealand and, more recently, a partnership at Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Hamish will bring to the board his broad experience in corporate governance and strategic thinking.

Both Greg and Hamish have been appointed for an initial term of three years.
