Changes at the Top for Golden Bay Cement and Firth Industries

10 Jul 2011

Fletcher Building has announced the appointment of Andrew Moss as Firth Industries’ new General Manager.

As the successful General Manager of Golden Bay Cement over the past four years Andrew has forged strong links across the cement and concrete industry. His already established relationships with Firth’s customer base and his exposure to the demands of the market mean he will be quickly able to grasp the challenges that currently face Firth.

Andrew took up the role on 1 October, at which point Fletcher Building began recruiting for his
successor into the Golden Bay Cement General Manager position.

Andrew replaces David Peterson, who has taken up the position of General Manager with Fletcher Building’s EQR (Earthquake Recovery). EQR was formed following the Canterbury September earthquake and took on a greater role following the February event in Christchurch.

EQR is charged with the rebuilding of residential properties damaged in Canterbury, on behalf of the Earthquake Commission. the role is Christchurch focussed, where David will now be based.

After almost 17 years with Firth, David leaves the company in good shape, ready to capitalise on new opportunities under the leadership of Andrew as the economy rebounds.
