New principal of local law firm Treadwell Gordon and former Black Cap Andrew Penn is excited to be back in his old stomping grounds.
Penn along with wife Jill, who is a lawyer with Oranga Tamariki, moved to Whanganui in early February and are enjoying being back in his
hometown.
"It's something my wife and I had always planned to do, it was just a question of when we would do it. It's where I'm born and bred and I loved the place, and it's just fantastic to be back and re-familiarise with Whanganui."
Penn started his new role as principal this week, after spending the past 20 years in Wellington. He worked as a lawyer in a property and commercial firm for six years and then more recently as executive legal counsel with AMP Capital for 13 years.
Penn is well known in the region for his cricketing feats, where he made five appearances for the Black Caps during his career, along with 66 first class matches for Central Districts and Wellington.
