South Aucklander Andrea Scown is bucking the trend within the typically male-dominated hardware industry - appointed in March as the first female chief executive of DIY chain Mitre 10 New Zealand. And the mum of seven, now living in Auckland s Parnell, found herself immediately in the hot seat dealing with a severe structural building timber shortage after Carter Holt Harvey cut supplies because of accelerated house construction.
Scown joined the 84-store chain in 2017 and quickly made her desire to be the boss known. She hopes her appointment inspires the next generation of women.
