Cut-back by Enex
C.V.Z.P.A. tstajj Correspondent) WELLINGTON, Jan. 31. Enex, the Engineering Export Asscoiation of New Zealand, is retrenching. Mr B. Lumsden’s contract as chief executive has been cancelled, and the position is to be advertised at a lower salary. The chairman of Enex (Mr R. M. Tonkin), a partner in the Auckland consultant engineering firm of Tonkin and Taylor, said today that the association had been having problems financing all it had planned to do. “There is a miscellany of reasons,” said Mr Tonkin today in Wellington. “The difficulties of working overseas are considerable. You could say we are overstretched.
“There is no disagreement on policy. So far as Mr Lumsden’s appointment is concerned, you can call it an agreement to part ways.”
The board of Enex will meet on February 12, when it will look at a series of papers on this year’s programme. “In the meantime our aims and objectives remain as before,” said Mr Tonkin.
