PriorityOne CEO Announced


PriorityOne, the Western Bay of Plenty's Economic Development Agency today announced their new CEO. He is Andrew Coker, formerly P1's Business Development Manager. Congratulations Andrew!

The WH Consultancy developed the Stay in the Bay portal with Priority One two years ago, and this continues to attract regular Business 2 Business traffic in the Bay. Working closely with P1 is a good way to stay in touch with econmic development in the region.

Today's announcement is a happy coincidence. I have a meeting planned with Andrew tomorrow to discuss regional economic development, focusing particularly on the engagement between Western Bay business and University input. Even a greater coincidence then that following that meeting, I travel to Waikatolink at the Waikato Innovation Park in Hamilton, to do as I preach.

Strong coffee will be the order of the day. Tonight's line up of calls overseas mean no early bed for me. White then, but no sugar please.
