Having seen the Eastern Institute of Technology from a distance in recent years, Glenn Fulcher, as head of the Tourism and Hospitality and the English Language centre, is now pleased to be part of it.
Taking over from Jenny Robertson, who retired in April, Fulcher was most recently regional managerPacific for City & Guilds of London Institute.
His work for City & Guilds allowed him to be based in Hawke's Bay, a region the ex-Aucklander holds dear.
"My wife, Tania, and I are both out-of-towners, and we definitely fell in love with Napier and Art Deco when we stayed here for a friend's wedding in the mid-2000s."
With sons Joss, 4, and 6-year-old Hudson, the family enjoys living on a good-sized section in Onekawa, "close to everything".
Fulcher developed strong links within Hawke's Bay in managing City and Guilds' international qualifications at EIT, as well as throughout New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
Before his association with the brand, he worked for the hospitality industry's training organisation HSI, which has since been restructured as ServiceIQ.
He was a senior adviser for HSI when Hawke's Bay was identified as a region suitable for expanding hospitality training programmes.
