Fraser has extensive business experience in medium to large enterprises and most recently worked as Financial Controller for New Zealand Crane Hire before taking up the role of Operations Manager Northland Stevedoring in 2003 to 2006.

He counts as one of his strengths an extensive, practical knowledge in the use of accounting packages and technology.

“An accountant is as much a business advisor as a number cruncher – our core business is growing businesses.”

A former manager and coach of the Deaf New Zealand Volleyball Squad for the Deaf World Games 1989, recipient of a RNZAF Flying Scholarship and Nominee for coach of the year Northland Sports Awards, Fraser is no stranger to hard work.

In the past he has enjoyed scuba diving, white water rafting, abseiling, mountaineering and flying, to name just a few.
