Fuji Xerox New Zealand has appointed Gavin Pollard as its new Managing Director for New Zealand. The announcement follows the promotion of outgoing managing director Neil Whittaker to the role of MD for Fuji Xerox Australia.
Pollard has been with Fuji Xerox for 13 years and for the past three years was general manager of national sales operations. He says he’s looking forward to the challenge and among his first priorities will be to move the company to Newmarket and open a new warehouse at Auckland airport.
Pollard is the best choice for the role, said Whittaker. “Gavin has a wealth of experience and I’ve been working with him for over three years, preparing him to take over from me. The opportunity for both us to take on new roles is a great opportunity and I’m sure Gavin will look to stamp his mark on the role.”
Whittaker said that after 11 years as MD of the New Zealand business, the opportunity to lead the largest Fuji Xerox company in the region was too great a challenge to turn down. “The great team spirit we have and the success we have collectively enjoyed is something the rest of the organisation really admires and wants to see expanded into other operating companies around the region."
