Northland Chamber of Commerce appoints new chief executive
The Northland Chamber of Commerce has announced the appointment of Stephen Smith as its new chief executive, following the resignation of Tony Collins who has taken a new position at the Whangarei District Council.
Smith has a business background, both in New Zealand, and abroad, working with companies in both start-up and operational mode. He brings commercial acumen and a passion for seeing business grow and prosper, with an eye on a succession plan for the future.
Smith says, “I am very excited to be joining the Northland Chamber team and adding my energy to an already strong organisation.
"If you are also passionate about business affairs and the necessary infrastructure to drive the North forward I can’t wait to meet with you. Let's make some real noise that can't be ignored.”
A spokesperson says the chamber looks forward to continuing to promote a better business environment for Northland, and is delighted to have Smith on board to enhance this work.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
