Lane has been working alongside businesses for the last 8 years in New Zealand and in South East Asia. His understanding in Employment related matters has assisted Company’s in increasing productivity, empowering staff and significantly reducing absenteeism.  Lane has successfully negotiated scores of Collective Contracts within New Zealand and overseas along with providing company’s with the tools to handle the every changing environment.
Although a specialist in Industrial Relations, Lane’s latest project in Malaysia was to make an instant impact on increasing Sales and reducing costs for a mid size Distribution Company. In 2008 their sales increased 300% in 9 months whilst also increasing gross margins. Although impressive, perhaps the biggest benefit to the company was to provide all staff with clarity on their roles and bring about harmony and ownership within the organisation.
Lane lives in Orewa, is married with 2 teenage children. He has represented Taranaki at the most senior level in Golf. His latest handicap was 3. Lane enjoys travelling with his family and experiencing the many cultures that the world has to offer. Work Life balance is very important also.
