Auckland lawyer Roger Partridge has been elected chairman of the Business Roundtable.
He replaces Rob McLeod who was appointed in July by Ernst & Young to be managing partner, New Zealand and Australia, based in Sydney.
Mr Partridge is chairman of Bell Gully and has been a member of the Business Roundtable since 2008.
Mr McLeod said he was very pleased to have someone of Roger Partridge’s
calibre and extensive commercial law experience to succeed him as chairman.
Mr Partridge said he was delighted to accept the position and looked forward to
contributing to the organisation’s mission of lifting productivity and raising
standards of living for all New Zealanders through encouraging improvements in
public policies.
He said Mr McLeod had been an outstanding leader who had earned huge
respect throughout the business and public policy communities and within
Maoridom, and the Business Roundtable had been most fortunate to have him at
the helm over the past seven years. Mr McLeod will continue as a member of the
Business Roundtable.
Roger Partridge joins Business Roundtable vice-chairs, Bill Day, Seaworks, Bill
Gallagher, Gallagher Group, and Nick Calavrias, representing alumni.
