Tauranga based Matt Pickering says a critical part of his success and the success of his team is the emphasis he places on family, his personal interests and achieving what matters most in his work and life.
Matt Pickering's business area runs from Taupo to Whakatane and north to Kaitaia, encompassing more than 6000 customers. His role includes developing the strategic direction of rural banking as well as providing effective leadership to the region's 110 staff.
His family comes first and he works flexibly so he can support his commitment to his wife and two children. His role is a busy one and he spends a lot of time on the road.
His interests outside work include surf lifesaving. He was Surf Lifeguard of the Year in 1994 and is currently president of the Papamoa Surf Lifesaving Club. He lives at Papamoa Beach with his wife and two sons and has been known to hold work meetings in the surf lifesaving clubrooms.
Matt Pickering is a summer coach at the club for 20 eight-year-olds. While his first goal is to train these and many other youngsters in surf lifesaving skills, he ensures that teamwork and camaraderie are the foundations for developing self leadership and for giving back to the community.
He also competes in long distance ocean swimming events and blo-karts with his oldest son.
