‘On behalf of the Board of Fire and Emergency New Zealand I wish to advise that Kerry Gregory has today advised us that he has resigned, effective immediately, from his role as Chief Executive of Fire and Emergency.
‘Mr Gregory says that, in the light of of the Minister of Internal Affairs’ recent public statement that she did not have confidence in him, it has become untenable for him to remain in his role.
‘The Board wishes to acknowledge and thank Mr Gregory for his 36 years of dedicated service, including a very lengthy period as an operational firefighter, and wishes him well for the future.’
Darry Purdy remains as acting Chief Executive and Megan Stiffler as National Commander.
