New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited announced that Mr. Brett Crowley has been appointed Company Secretary following the resignation of Ms Erlyn Dawson. Brett Crowley is a practicing solicitor and a former Partner of Ernst & Young in Hong Kong and Australia, and of KPMG in Hong Kong. Mr. Crowley is an experienced chairman, finance director and company secretary of ASX-listed companies, and is a former Senior Legal Member of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

He is currently a director of ASX-listed Uscom Limited and company secretary of five ASX-listed companies. Mr. Crowley's appointment follows the acquisition of Nine Ocean, a high-end seafood product wholesaler/exporter based in Cairns, Queensland and the Company's operations becoming more concentrated on the east coast of Australia. Accordingly, the Board deemed it appropriate that a Company Secretary be appointed who is based on the east coast.
