Changes to our StayLive team

New Update

We welcome Gina Miles from Genesis Energy and Ted Kirkbride from Top Energy and also welcome back Peter Coyle who will continue to assist with the administration of StayLive. We also farewell Paul Robinson and Lesley Johnson, both of whom have made a valuable contribution to the team during the course of their time with StayLive.

Earlier Updates

We welcome Andrew Blizzard to the team from Tilt Renewables. Based in Melbourne, Andrew will be our first trans-Tasman member and this will open up new opportunities to gain insight into what our Australian counterparts are doing.

We farewell Peter Coyle from the EEA and Ulrich Biesenbach of Contact both of whom have provided a valuable contribution to StayLive over the years. Ulrich has been with StayLive since 2013 and over that time had provided a very strong technical input to StayLive from a risk and process safety perspective. We wish both Peter and Ulrich the very best in their new endeavours.

We welcome Jenny Oakley from Mercury, Rob Nichol from Contact, Steve Wells and Lesley Johnson from Todd Generation, Will Clements from Ngati Tuwharetoa and James Dodwell from the EEA.
