In this episode of Bulgarian Success Stories on PlainsFm 96.9 I have the privilege of interviewing one of our most supported and strongest candidates for the Mayor of Christchurch, Mr David Meates.

David has an impressive track record of leadership through his management of the Christchurch District Health Board leading a vast team of health practitioners. David Meates has been at the forefront of Christchurch’s response to numerous natural disasters and emergencies like the terrifying mosque attacks of 2019.

All of David’s hard work has led to him being awarded with the highest standing award by the NZ Medical Association for his exemplary response and leadership through these unimaginably hard times.

He is now a member of the NZ Order of Merit for services and health and looking to do even more good as the future mayor of our lovely city, Christchurch.

Links to the interview are listed below. Happy listening!
