OUR TEAM

Managing Director

Darryl Burn

I joined pH7 in 2007 and have been the driving force behind our strategy of specialising in HAZCHEM Safety Solutions. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to complete many courses of interest including: HSNO Certification Qualification, Responsible Care NZ (2010), HSNO Advanced Training, Responsible Care NZ (2013), Approved Handlers Test Certificate, Class 3.1 Flammables (2015), Comprehensive Chemical HSWA Training, Rifft (2022).

Outside of work, I love all things water based including sailing, spearfishing and paddle boarding with my wife and three children.

Finance Manager

Patricia Canavan

My path to finance has come via sales and marketing positions in multinational companies in Europe, managing a service company in Ireland and then gaining my “kiwi experience” at PwC, in Auckland.

I’ve been with pH7 since 2015 and am one of the owners of the business. I’ve witnessed the company growing its product and service offering, while strengthening its market position and overall HAZCHEM expertise.  I love living in NZ, raising three cherubs and getting outdoors as much as I can.

South Island Business Manager

Tiffany Sharrott

I am originally from San Diego California and relocated with my family to New Zealand in 2014. My family loves to travel and after a holiday in New Zealand our daughter decided she wanted to get her Master’s Degree in Winemaking here.   I started my career in law and have expanded my experience to real estate, cleanroom protocol training and now working with pH7.

I am an Associate Member of NZOHS and am a Commit2Fit Certified Respiratory Fit Tester.  I have also completed The Educhem Management Course with Environmental Protection Authority Notices and Health and Safety at Work Regulations, have a Certificate in Mould Hazard Awareness Training from MHA, Compliantly Managing Hazardous Substances and W507 – Health Effects of Hazardous Substances.  I specialise in site risk assessments and travel the country working with businesses that handle hazardous substances.

In my spare time, I am an avid reader usually with three books going at one time.  I also love movies and good food!  I love to travel and spend time with the family and our dog Hinckley.

Sales Support

Bianca Mitchelson

I joined pH7 in 2020, coming from the plumbing industry. As part of the sales team, I look after a group of customers making sure they are well cared for. I’m also the main person in charge of optimising our CRM system which seeks to improve workflows and ensure every lead is nurtured from start to finish. I am NZOHS certified as a Commit2Fit Respirator Fit Tester.

Business Analyst

Navnish Singh

I joined pH7 in 2019 as a business analyst providing support to various departments such as sales, marketing, warehousing and management. My role is to crunch the numbers into something meaningful so the company can run more efficiently.  Along with this, I have been involved in various projects such as the implementation of Netstock, Zoho and the warehouse relocation.

Outside of work, I love my sports all so much that I am spending half the season out on the sidelines recovering from an injury.

Accounts & Customer Solutions Rep

Rebecca Smith

I joined pH7 in October 2022, a new addition to the team and the industry. Whilst most of my previous experience is in customer service, I’m excited to learn a wide range of knowledge from my colleagues.

Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends, photography, live music and spending time at the beach.

I’m responsible for all aspects of pH7’s warehouse operations from devanning through to dispatch, ensuring the team achieves the key performance measures around picking accuracy, timely delivery and safety.

My Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration along with further training in optimising warehouse performance and Hazard Analysis are all useful tools I use to ensure we deliver in full and on time.
