Mainfreight award

Mainfreight managing director Don Braid has won the New Zealand Shareholders Association’s 2018 Beacon Award for developing what the association says is a unique culture at the transport and logistics company. The award is given to a listed company leader who demonstrates outstanding performance, including leadership, corporate governance, and respecting the rights of all shareholders. “The Beacon Award guidelines have five specific guidance criteria. Don Braid is remarkable in that he meets all five,” said NZSA chairman John Hawkins. He cited Braid’s vision for a company that includes a culture “where the whole team sees and believes the company’s focus and aspirations”.
