The Board of Directors of Briscoe Group Limited advises that it has appointed Mark
Cairns as an Independent Non-Executive Director of Briscoe Group effective from 1
November 2025.
Mr Cairns appointment follows the announcement last year of Andy Coupe’s intention
to retire from the Board at next year’s Annual Shareholders Meeting.
Chair, Dame Rosanne Meo said, “We are delighted that Mark will be joining the
Board and believe his experience and skills will be of immense benefit to the Group.
He is an experienced business leader with demonstrated commercial abilities in
logistics, infrastructure, complex supply chains and capital markets gained across a
number of notable organisations including roles as Chief Executive for Port of
Tauranga, Toll Owens and Owens Cargo Company.
“A key feature of good governance is for Boards to consistently challenge themselves
to ensure the highest level of service to the companies they serve. With Mark’s
appointment I am confident that the Briscoe Group Board of Directors will have an
excellent balance of the attributes required to meet the future needs of the business.”
Mark is currently Chair of Freightways Limited having joined their Board in 2021 and
is also a director of Auckland International Airport Limited. He holds a first class
honours degree in Civil Engineering from University of Auckland, a degree in
Business Studies and Master of Management from Massey University. He is also a
Fellow of Engineering New Zealand and Chartered Fellow of the Institute of
Directors.
In accordance with normal practice and the NZX Listing Rules, Mr Cairns will retire
as a Director of Briscoe Group at the 2026 Annual Meeting but intends to seek re-
election by shareholders at that time.
