Appointments to Public Trust board
Public Trust has appointed Karen Price as chair and Will Peet as a new member of its board, both highly skilled directors with strong governance experience. Price joined the board in July 2024. She has been the acting chair since April this year. Public Trust is an autonomous Crown entity and New Zealand's largest provider of trustee and estate administration services. It also provides a number of unique functions in New Zealand law, associated with the protection and holding of assets and its expertise as a fiduciary. Commenting on her new appointment, Price said: 'I'm excited to take up the role of chair of Public Trust and welcome Will Peet as a board member. 'With only half of adult New Zealanders with a will in place, Public Trust has an unfaltering focus on finding new and innovative ways to help more New Zealanders get their end-of-life planning sorted. 'Good governance is important for Crown entities, and we take it seriously. Because of the breadth of our work, our board has skills and expertise across a range of sectors, including financial services and funds management, frontline customer service and operations, health and safety, legal, and accounting.'
