Casey Williams used to work for the biggest co-operative in the country, and hopes she can use those skills to promote Waihi further.
The mother of two says she gained a wealth of experience with Fonterra in Te Awamutu which she can transfer to Go Waihi.
''I was the site administrator and a lot of that role would transition into this one. They are such a big business in a small town but they were very involved with the community.''
Building business plans, problem-solving and placing college students into work experience placements were just some of the highlights, she says.
Casey started her new job as Go Waihi co-ordinator almost two weeks ago and has enjoyed meeting new people and establishing contacts.
