Our Board

Managing Director Joseph says: “At Christmas 2021, our HR Team gave everyone a copy of ‘Legacy: What the All Blacks can teach us about the business of life’ by James Kerr. I’ve dipped in and out of the book and it got me thinking. Our game is different, but Re-Gen has to work and play together as a team. We’re not Brazil, we’re Re-Gen!”

Joseph says: "I’m the central midfielder and the captain, it’s my job to keep an eye on what’s going on across the whole pitch and to spearhead the attack when the circumstances are right. It’s also my job to drop back and help the defence if things aren’t going well. On top of that, to keep things right, I listen to the head coach, talk to the referee and consult with the people running the sideline."
