Hello My name is Peter Campbell and I was born in Greymouth. An accountant by profession (BCom University of Canterbury 1985, CA 1985 and Chartered Accountant in public practice), I have owned and operated my busy sole practitioner’s practice in Westport since 1988, currently employing 15 staff. I am married to Jan, who also works alongside me in the accountancy business, and we have three daughters, all of whom attended Westport North primary school and then Buller High School. I have always had a strong interest in education and community affairs and have served as Deputy Chairman, then became Chairman of the Buller High School Board of Trustees for 10 years. I have been involved in the educational field at regional level, and was Chairperson of the Marlborough/Nelson/West Coast School Trustees Association for several years, having previously been a registered trainer for the NZSTA. I was also on the Board of the NZ School Trustees Association and in 2000 represented that Association when I became a member of the Ministry of Education’s Practitioners Group for the review of operations grant to schools. I am also a long-time member of the Westport Rotary Club, and responsible for organising the annual Rotary speech contests for school students in the Buller region. My keen sporting background (which includes cricket, squash, hockey, badminton and volleyball) has also drawn me into the field of rugby where I am a well known local referee. I was part of the group which was instrumental in forming the Westport Youth Club in 2000, aimed at providing a drug- and alcohol-free social environment for the young people of the town. I was also Chairperson of the former Buller Youth Works Trust, which acted to place young local people in employment. In 2000 I became one of the two Westport representatives on the newly formed West Coast branch of the Chamber of Commerce. Then in 2007 I was elected as a Councilor on the Buller District Council, where I take an active role in promoting the interests of the Westport community. After venturing into “Dancing Without The Stars” (where I certainly was not a star!) I became involved in Homebuilders, and recently moved into the role of Chairman.

My name is Bev Poynter and I hold the position of secretary for Homebuilders West Coast Trust. I am married with three adult children and six grandchildren. I retired three years ago from nursing/hospital management at Buller Hospital. I joined Homebuilders "to give something back to the community" as I had spare time on my hands. I fully support and am proud of the services offered by Lorraine and the team at Homebuilders. I mentor a young person through Homebuilders Big Brothers Big Sisters programme. I am also involved in Buller Country Music Club, Home Hospice and Buller Adult Learning Services.

Hello My name is Eyvonne Diskin I have enjoyed being part of the Homebuilders team as a board member for the last seven years. I have lived in the area all my life and was born at Waimangaroa. I completed my enrolled nursing at Buller Hospital. I have three married sons who have produced nine grand children for me to spend much of my spare time with. I operate my own retail business and spend much of my leisure time tending to my gardens and 700 hazelnut trees. I have a great interest in outdoor pursuits which includes netball, tramping and running. I also endeavour to follow my children's sports and spend the left over time with my husband Ross.

My name is Ngaire Townrow I am married to Barry and have two adult daughters. In my day job I am a Personal Banker at ANZ Bank where I have been employed for the past 19 years. I have been associated with Homebuilders since it’s inception as a Trust in 2003, initially as Secretary of the steering group that established the Trust, then as secretary of the Trust for four years and a board member for the past three years. I am a community focused person with strong ethical values and a desire to utilize my skills by working as a volunteer for a number of local organisations that provide support for people in need. Groups I am associated with besides Homebuilders include Buller Victim Support, Rape & Sexual Abuse Support West Coast and Buller Budget Advisory Service. I am also a member of the Westport Performing Arts Competitions Society and a registered Marriage and Civil Union Celebrant. In my spare time I enjoy the performing arts, sewing and spending time with my family and friends.
