Newly-appointed chief executive Simon Tong has announced that Rebecca Callaghan will join the firm as its new chief financial officer.

Callaghan has extensive industry experience and was group financial controller and group taxation manager at Zespri International for the past nine years and has also held senior finance positions at ANZ and AMP Financial Services.

Tong says her appointment marks the start of the next phase of growth for their clients and for Craigs.

"We are delighted to appoint Rebecca as our new CFO.

"Her experience and track record aligns well with Craigs ambitions and needs and we are looking forward to welcoming her on board,” Tong says.

Callaghan will be taking over from Ken Phillip who recently retired after 25 years in the role and will remain as a Craigs shareholder and as a director of several operating subsidiaries of Craigs.

Founder Neil Craig has thanked Phillip for "...his massive contribution to Craigs," and welcomes Callaghan to the fold.

"With Simon as CEO and Rebecca as CFO we look forward to the next phase for our clients and the business.”

Callaghan is born and bred in the Bay of Plenty and will be based out of Craigs Head Office in Tauranga.
