Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (MCK) announced that its long-serving Vice President of Finance Boon Pua has announced his decision to leave the group in July 2024. Mr. Pua has been with MCK since July 1999 and was appointed as the chief financial officer for both MCK & CDI in 2008. As he approaches the 25 years of service he has decided the time is right to step down (and retire).

Boon has navigated the company through many challenges guiding financial operations within New Zealand and Australia through the best of times and the worst of times. His time in charge of the financial affairs of the group has seen him encounter the impacts of events such as SARS, Global Financial Crises, Canterbury earthquakes (loss of 3 hotels), COVID pandemics, but has also seen the development of the business operations in place. The company announced that it would be commencing a process to appoint a new Vice President of Finance /Chief Financial Officer in the coming months and an announcement would be made at the completion of the process.
