$1.2 billion. Much of the success of TGH to date
can be attributed to its CEO Mike Pohio. We said
farewell to Mike this year after eight years at the
helm and on behalf of Te Kauhanganui I extend my
deepest thanks, appreciation and best wishes
to him.
KUA MATE
During the year we lost a long-serving member
of Te Kauhanganui. Hemoata Mary (Ollie) Kara of
Maungatautari Marae was a founding member of
Te Kauhanganui and her loss is deeply felt. Takoto
mai moe mai raa e te rangatira.

Acknowledgements
The 2015 financial year has served to consolidate
our progress and there are many people to
acknowledge. Thank you to the members of Te
Kauhanganui, in particular those who serve on Te
Arataura and commit many personal hours to that
role. Thank you to our chairmen – Rahui Papa,
Sir Henry van der Heyden, John Heremia, and Sir
John Goulter – and to management and staff who
continue to diligently serve the iwi.
I also make special acknowledgement to
kaumaatua who serve on Te Kauhanganui. There
is no replacement for the life experience that
they bring to the House and I am grateful for the
richness of that wisdom.
I remain guided and inspired by the words of Kiingi
Korokii: ‘Mehemea he mahi pai moo te taangata,
mahia!’ It is my privilege to work for the people.
Pai marire.
