Mr Mann has a wealth of experience in all facets of forestry operations having been in the industry for nearly 30 years. Previously he was with Rayonier Matariki Forests for 15 years in various roles including most recently as General Manager of Operations.

Mr Mann has a long history with Ernslaw One, spending the early part of his career with the company. He returned to the organisation six months ago to take up the role of Chief Operating Officer.

He will lead the Ernslaw One team with a strong emphasis on people, safety, operations, technology, environmental and financial performance. He is responsible for delivering the strategic plan while continuing to review and improve all systems and processes within the company.

Ernslaw’s Executive Director, Yong Tiong, said Mr Mann’s exceptional experience and credentials will position the company well for the future.

“We are focused on a path of growth and improvement as we move into an exciting new phase for the company,” he said.

“Darren’s operational expertise combined with his visionary leadership will be a real asset to the business.”

Mr Mann takes up his new role immediately.
