After 16 years at the helm of the Port of Tauranga, Chief Executive Mark Cairns is handing over successor Leonard Sampson, leaving a legacy of significant investment in major infrastructure and staff development.
It's a significant transition for a company rated by Mark Lister, head of private wealth research at Craigs Investment Partners, as one of the best quality businesses on the sharemarket.
Mark Cairns has also won plaudits for his leadership style, as well as business strategy.
He joins Kathryn Ryan to discuss leadership, the challenges the country faces in improving transportation of goods around the country, especially given government climate policy; and the future of the three main ports in the Upper North Island - Auckland, Northland and Tauranga.
