“He also brings with him a wealth of media and marketing experience. And I know he’s excited to work across our market-leading diverse range of assets.

“Danielle is widely acknowledged by our agency partners as being the best in her field. And we are very fortunate to have her stepping into this exciting new position.
“Our Christchurch agency partners deserve the best, and these hires demonstrate our ongoing commitment to delivering the highest levels of service and innovative solutions,” McCrea adds.
