We're pleased to welcome Amanda Kennard, who joined us in April as General Manager for our Hokitika site.

Prior to joining Westland, she was Site Operations Manager at Fonterra's Te Awamutu site — one of Fonterra's largest — and had previously led teams at Canpac and Fonterra's Te Rapa laboratory.

Amanda grew up in Ashburton and made the move to the West Coast to join the Westland team.
