Simplicity wants resignations over Gib supply issues

From Morning Report, 8:49 am on 21 June 2022

Stakeholders are calling for Fletcher Building's chairperson to resign over a Gib board supply crisis.

The construction giant owns nearly 94 percent of the market.

Building company Simplicity Living has already dumped Fletcher Building as a supplier, instead, opting to directly import plasterboard from Thailand.

Chief executive Sam Stubbs says Fletcher supplied Gib is over-priced and takes months to arrive.

Now he is demanding for heads to roll.

He spoke to Corin Dann.
