A memorable trip to Japan to reconnect with our long-standing partner, Tatsuno Corporation, to share in recent successes, and cement the future of our strong relationship.
We were honoured to celebrate and acknowledge the retirement of Tatsuno Corporation’s long-serving CEO, Hiromichi Tatsuno — a true leader whose contributions have shaped the company’s legacy. While Hiro san steps down as CEO, we’re pleased he will continue to serve as President, ensuring continuity and continued leadership.
For PEC CEO Richard Coxon, the personal relationship with Hiro san — spanning over 21 years has been a most rewarding aspect of the partnership. Richard is pictured presenting Hiro san with a Māori Waka Canoe Stern Leadership Trophy - the perfect trophy to recognise leadership, given that the navigator of the waka is the leader of the paddlers. Today the taurapa (stern piece) trophy signifies authority and leadership.
Hiro san, we wish you a long, healthy, and fulfilling retirement.
