Gimblett to take over as property general manager at Goodman
Goodman Property Trust says Michael Gimblett will take over as the new property general manager, following the retirement of Murray Barclay.
Mr Gimblett has worked in other roles with the company, for the past nine years, recently overseeing a new Fonterra development in the Viaduct Quarter.
The company said he has a proven track record and is highly regarded throughout the industry.
The appointment takes effect from the beginning of April.
Financial Conduct Authority looking at HSBC
In Britain, the Financial Conduct Authority said it is looking into the HSBC bank over its Swiss tax-dodging scandal.
The move follows last week's allegations that the bank helped hundreds of people evade tax using hidden HSBC accounts in Geneva.

A spokesperson said it doesn't regulate tax advice, nor does it regulate the activities of any Swiss-based bank.
