TPT Group Holdings (NZ) Ltd, a family-owned local investment company, has announced the appointment of Robert Ferris as an independent director and Amy Johnson as a future director to its board of directors.
Bringing a wealth of experience and expertise, Ferris has had a very successful career in the electrical industry, serving in senior executive positions, including general manager and managing director, during his 18-year tenure at Electrix, one of New Zealand’s largest electrical and gas contracting companies.
His leadership oversaw a period of sustained growth, and he has gained significant commercial experience, particularly in the power industry. Ferris holds an NZCE Electrical and has previously held governance roles at industry-based EEA and the PEET at the University of Canterbury. His focus on people and safety makes him an invaluable addition to the TPT Group board.
Johnson, a distinguished thought leader in enterprise business technology and AI, brings a unique blend of business acumen and technological prowess to the board. As a global citizen, studying at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, she has established herself as a respected figure in the field. Johnson returned to New Zealand to co-found a highly successful global AI and customer experience technology company, where she currently serves as chief customer experience officer and COO.
With deep knowledge of enterprise systems, digital customer experience, customer journeys, and AI transformation, Johnson is well-equipped to drive tangible returns for enterprises and their customers. She also serves as a director of MyWave Ltd and Closeburn Station Management Company Ltd.
TPT Group managing director Mike Marr stated: “It is great to have Robert and Amy joining the board. They bring a wealth of experience and wisdom while aligning with our business values.”
TPT Group also announced the consolidation of its technology business under the banner of Advanced Group (www.advancedgroup.co.nz). While the subsidiaries Advanced Security, ASGSPL, IT Engine, Cablenet, and ASG Technologies will retain their current brands, they will operate as part of the Advanced Group. This convergence establishes Advanced Group as one of the largest technical service providers in New Zealand, with 24 offices nationwide.
TPT Group Independent director and chair Graeme Hansen expressed his confidence in the new appointments, stating: “Robert and Amy are welcome additions to the board. They arrive at a time when New Zealand enterprises are facing new waves of challenge and opportunity. The consolidation of our leading-edge businesses under the Advanced Group banner positions us well for continuing growth and achievement.”
