Kia ora koutou,

I am pleased to announce that Kate Jackson will be stepping into the role of Chief Executive Officer for the Mount Wellington Licensing Trust Group (the group) on a permanent basis, effective immediately. The entities in the group are Mount Wellington Licensing Trust, Mount Wellington Charitable Trust, and Mount Wellington Trust Hotels.

Kate has been Interim CEO since December 2022, and during this time has provided excellent leadership and direction for the group’s businesses while supporting Trustees and Directors in their roles.

On her appointment, Ms. Jackson said, “It has been a privilege to lead the group through the long-awaited transition to the post-COVID hospitality environment and I am very much looking forward to working with our Trustees and Directors to establish an updated strategy for the group in the new year.”

Kate joined Mount Wellington Trust Hotels in 2019 in the role of General Manager Finance & IT and began the transformation of our financial systems and processes. She supported the previous CEO and Board to navigate the challenges of COVID-19, and the Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre being a managed isolation facility before being appointed as Interim CEO.

Please join me in congratulating Kate on her appointment.

Paula Savage

Board Chair
