An announcement from Napier Port Holdings Ltd ( (NZ:NPH) ) is now available.

Napier Port has announced that independent director John Harvey will step down from the board at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in December 2026, choosing not to seek re-election after a seven-year tenure. Chair Blair O’Keeffe credited Harvey with bringing significant financial, governance and listed-company expertise through a critical growth phase, including the port’s IPO and transition to public ownership, making his departure a notable boardroom change for the regional infrastructure operator.

The company emphasised Harvey’s role in guiding Napier Port’s evolution into a listed entity, underscoring the importance of experienced oversight during its expansion. His planned exit gives investors and stakeholders visibility over upcoming board succession, as the port continues to manage its role as a crucial export hub for Hawke’s Bay and the lower North Island and to support the regional economy through its infrastructure assets.
