The Trusts have announced that experienced community-enterprise executive Allan Pollard will be their new CEO.

Allan has joined The Trusts from Trust House Ltd, a community-owned company based in the Wairarapa where he has been CEO since 2013. Trust House Ltd operates a range of hospitality businesses in Wairarapa, Pahiatua, Flaxmere and Porirua.

Originally from Glasgow, Allan began in the hospitality sector as a dishwasher when he was 16 years old and has worked through various roles to his current position as CEO of Trust House Ltd.

Allan said that he was excited for the opportunity to work with The Trusts. “The Trusts is all about giving back to the community it serves, so I feel privileged to be offered such a rewarding role. I’m looking forward to getting to know the people of West Auckland, including The Trusts team, and helping the organisation continue to be a long-term force for good.”

Brian Corban, Chair of West Auckland Trust Services Ltd said that the Board, management and Trusts team were looking forward to the energy and experience Allan would bring.
