Interim Far North District Council chief executive officer Guy Holroyd has been confirmed as the successful candidate in the search for a permanent CEO at the council.
Recruiting for a new CEO began in June this year to replace Blair King, who resigned from the role in February and Holroyd was appointed as interim CEO to oversee council operations while the recruitment process was underway.
Announcing Holroyd’s appointment, Far North Kahika Mayor Moko Tepania said that he is hugely excited by the decision.
“Guy has already impressed us by hitting the ground running while acting as our interim CE. I look forward to the stability and leadership he will bring to our organisation,” Te Pania said.
He said making Holroyd the permanent CEO will empower the council to bring positive change to the Far North for years to come. Holroyd said he was humbled by the support shown by Tepania and other Far North councillors.
