Matt has been the CE of Presbyterian Support Southland (PSS) since February last year. Having grown up in Southland Matt returned to Invercargill almost 7 years ago with his wife Rohan (also from Invercargill) and their 2 daughters (aged 8 and 9) after 18 years away. Although Matt has an infrastructure and construction-centric background, he is enjoying the challenges and learnings associated with the for-purpose work that PSS is committed to in the Aged-Care and Social Services sectors.
