As Chief Financial Officer, Allan brings a steady hand to a wonderfully varied part of Laidlaw College's work. Alongside overseeing the College's financial health and statutory reporting, his portfolio stretches across Human Resources, Property and Information Technology — a mix that keeps him involved in projects touching almost every corner of the College.
Allan is a Chartered Accountant with more than 20 years' experience in the charitable sector, building on an earlier decade in accounting and management within the fresh food industry. That breadth of experience gives him a practical, grounded approach to stewarding Laidlaw's resources well.
Outside of work, Allan's sense of service carries through into his community. He's an active member of the Auckland Volunteer Fire Brigade, where he holds senior responsibility, and he serves as a worship pianist at his local church. Allan is married to Carolyn, and together they have three adult children.
Whether balancing budgets or answering a call-out, Allan brings the same care and reliability to everything he takes on.
