Civil Contractors New Zealand (CCNZ) has announced Peter Silcock as its new chief executive.
CCNZ represents the interests and aspirations of more than 400 members, including large, medium-sized and small businesses in civil engineering, construction and general contracting.
Members of the New Zealand contractors’ federation and Roading New Zealand elected to join the two organisations in September last year to form CCNZ.
Silcock will step into the position from his current role as chief executive of Horticulture New Zealand.
CCNZ president Dave Connell revealed Silcock’s appointment to head the organisation to media.
“We are confident that Peter will manage the consolidation of Civil Contractors New Zealand,” says Connell.
“He has extensive experience in managing membership organisations and representing the sector at government level.
“This is a very positive appointment for our organisation and industry during a period of sustained growth,” he says.
Silcock played a key role in the establishment of Horticulture NZ in 2006 and in the industry’s development strategy.
