ian airey

general manager commercial nz

With a strong background in food industry companies, Ian joined Cerebos Gregg's in the early months of 2002.

Originally covering the finance and administration function in New Zealand, his responsibilities have grown to include our call centre and franchise division (the Robert Harris chain of cafes).

Acknowledging the high calibre of people in the areas he leads, Ian sees his role as assisting with problem solving and helping to secure key opportunities as they arise. He achieves this by maintaining a focus thats at least six months into the future. Ian is also involved in the oversight of the Cerebos Gregg's subsidiaries and joint venture companies.

In his spare time, Ian heads for the great outdoors with his family. This typically leads to a beach and anything to do with the water, from snorkeling the world beneath to skimming the surface on a boogie board. A familiar sight at the local pool, Ian puts in the laps driven by a desire to swim with the grace and pace of an Olympian. He describes his current prowess however, as something closer to sedate and turbulent.
