Mr Cashin is a Director and Chair of Mooring Systems Ltd. He is also a Director of Ryman Healthcare Ltd and Capital Properties NZ Ltd, and has held senior appointments in a number of large organisations including Housing Corporation of NZ, Housing New Zealand, Work Insurance Ltd, Allied Farmers Ltd and Centreport Ltd.
