How you can support us…
Meet Anton Drazevic - the new CEO of the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust.
We`re delighted that Anton has joined the team, bringing with him his 20+ years of experience in leadership, operations, and community impact.
Anton first encountered the rescue helicopter service 16 years ago, when a family member was rescued following a helicopter accident. He says that experience has stayed with him and is a big part of why he is so energised to lead the Trust team today.
