Looking for Helen Matherson who used to live in the Wanaka region

Susie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I have received a request from a Neighbourly Lead in Whangarei - can anyone help?

"I have a lady in my neighbourhood who is keen to track down a Helen Matherson (maiden name) who once lived in the Wanaka region.

The lady from my neighbourhood is arranging a reunion of those who worked at the Pompolona Lodge on the Milford Track, in the Fiordland National Park back in the 1980s.

The Pompolona Lodge Staff Reunion is taking place in January 2018 and I believe most people have been located, except this one person - so the search is on for Helen Matherson!

Would Leads consider posting up a message on their noticeboards in the hope that Helen, a family member or someone who knows the Matherson family may see it and make contact?

Thanks.
Terrie - Kensington Lead"

Please contact me if you have any leads.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
