Warwick Turner – Regional Manager
Warwick was born and raised in Northland where the bush and the beaches still retain his interest. Warwick worked for the Auckland Education Board in both the payroll and finance sections until the abolition of Education Boards in 1989.
Warwick then held the position of client account advisor at Education Services North Ltd (ESN) until its demise in 1996. During his time at ESN Warwick undertook part time studies towards his National Certificate of Business Studies and was an inaugural Board of Trustees member at Tikipunga Primary School from October 1989 to April 1996.
With the demise of ESN Warwick set up his own business, School Accounting & Support Services Ltd which he operated for exactly 10 years from 1 July 1996 before selling the business to Education Services Ltd to become a Regional Manager.
Being a member of the Whangarei Four Wheel Drive Club helps considering the roads he has to travel to visit the more remote schools.
