Kendall Langston
President & Independent Board Director
kendalll@angusnz.com
Kendall believes that in order for leaders and organisations to thrive in the future they need to commit to professional governance, leadership development, surround themselves with the best advisors, mentors & talent they can find. They need to constantly adapt & evolve to ensure future success.
As a qualified Independent Director, Kendall is a diverse thinker and experienced professional leader.
He is a Partner at Pivot & Pace Ltd & his current role as a Strategic Advisor and Executive Coach means he interacts and supports a number of Board Chairs. His consulting practice is an approved NZTE provider for larger NZ companies being funded for export growth. This has involved a number of mergers, acquisitions, capital funding projects, restructures and professional interaction with board advisors (financial, legal, capital funding, Government
funding, R & D).
This role means Kendall often actively supports the development of Advisory Board or formal board structures.
George Philip
Treasurer

George Philip, a sheep and beef farmer near Dannevirke, joins the Angus Zealand board after an introduction to the association through the GenAngus Future Leaders Development programme.
George in his 4th season on an inter-generational property at Weber after entering a family succession process with his father John and uncle, Willy Philip. The Angus stud, Dandaleith, is an 870ha breeding block on hill country and the property is complimented by a 200ha flat land block in Dannevirke, which grows out male progeny and lambs.
George is a 5th generation Philip on the hill block and he’ll continue to work the property alongside his dad and uncle. Dandaleith Angus was established in 1951 by George’s grandad, Bill Philip, who was a Scottish immigrant from Dandaleith, near Aberlour in the Moray district of Scotland. He started the stud and ran it at Anui, near Dannevirke.
Willie Philip carried on the stud and brought the cows out to “Ratanui”, the family’s breeding block at Weber.
George started out specialising in rural accounting before joining ASB Bank. Now in his late ‘30s, he’s married to Laura and the couple has two young preschool girls. He sees the Angus New Zealand role as an opportunity for personal growth, being relatively new to hands-on farming and cattle breeding.
