Yes Simon Owen did a great job.Always an easy pleasant person to talk to.
The present board have a lot to be proud about.I guess having so much invested in Heartland Bank themselves, gives them the owner's eye.
Maybe getting as much (personal?) data as they can on people so they can bombard them with offers they can't refuse.
Like build up a profile on people over 55 and when the algorithm says 'Joe Henry is down to his last few thou and from the amount he's spent down at Bunnings he must really love his home so Joe is a prime candidate for a reverse mortgage' they send in the A-team to sign up the deal
How much does some businesses already know about you ziggy - heaps I bet
Why are you saying that? Vanessa Stoddart might well be part of this new thinking ... she certainly is used to working in an environment of innovation and disruptions. She certainly understands commercial Internet and mobile applications. If we look at some of the other companies she is involved in - I think that as well NZR as well as the Warehouse walk a quite sensible (and profitable) balance between conserving and innovating.
JOHN KEY for CFO.
Not honest enough; far too teflon like.
I will not invest in a company which has an ex politician on the board.
Doug Graham,Ruth Richardson,Jenny Shipley,Philip Burdon etc have scared me off them.!
I would agree however John Key would be the exception for me. Unlike other ex politicians he has the business smarts and would only be interested in success. He wouldn't have to grab the first offer but would wait for a winner only to come his way. His self made personal wealth speaks for itself. :)
Time for a name change for our finance company / bank
The Press is calling Crusher Collins Mrs Heartland - OMG
Probably wasn't good business to lend around 20 % of the loan book to one party so another on the list for you Percy ?

There is another bank more closely aligned with Mr Keys hip pocket, the Bank of America
John would be wise to decline a B of A CFO gig. If the Federal Reserve were to disgorge the rubbish B of A pushed through the discount window and got paid face value for then both he and B of A would be in deep deep trouble.

If the AFR is to be believed HBL won't be buying UDC Finance.
