He is an experienced business leader with demonstrated commercial abilities in logistics, infrastructure, complex supply chains and capital markets gained across a number of notable organisations including roles as Chief Executive for Port of Tauranga, Toll Owens and Owens Cargo Company.

“A key feature of good governance is for Boards to consistently challenge themselves to ensure the highest level of service to the companies they serve. With Mark’s appointment I am confident that the Briscoe Group Board of Directors will have an excellent balance of the attributes required to meet the future needs of the business.”

Mark is currently Chair of Freightways Limited having joined their Board in 2021 and is also a director of Auckland International Airport Limited. He holds a first class honours degree in Civil Engineering from University of Auckland, a degree in Business Studies and Master of Management from Massey University.
