Starting as a silviculture forester in South Africa, Mr Kriek has taken on many operational and management responsibilities including business development, estate management, harvest and haulage as well as planning and resource analysis. He is currently the VicForests General Manager of Operations.
Mr Kriek said that the Green Triangle Forests were a world class operation.
“The forests are the foundation of our business and 95% of our fibre is supplied to the domestic market,” he said.
“We grow a sustainable resource that Australian wood processors turn into finished products to build homes.”
“Deon’s appointment will contribute strong talent and experience to the leadership of the company,” Peter Brydon, OneFortyOne’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, said.
“Deon is a highly regarded forest industry leader, with a wealth of knowledge that will help drive OneFortyOne into the next decade.
“Deon has an industry-wide reputation for a respectful and people first management style.
“He has the experience and approach that is required to continue to add value to the business whilst ensuring safety remains a top priority as do our people and relationships with contractors, partners, and the community”.
