Caughey Preston Trust is a private Trust, founded in 1950 through the bequest of Auckland pioneer business woman, Mrs Marianne Caughey Smith-Preston. The Board of Caughey Preston is comprised of 9 Trustees plus one Life member in absentia.

With collective service to the Trust Board of over 200 years and an average length of service of 22 years our 9 Trustees maintain a stable and committed focus ensuring that the Trust continues to provide services and support in accordance with the original wishes of our benefactress, Marianne Caughey Smith-Preston. In deed, many of the Trustees are members of the Caughey family.

The combined skill set of the Trustees covers a raft of business acumen and expertise ranging across Law, Finance, Healthcare, Property Design and Development, Training, Commerce and Management and many have involvement in governance roles with other Charitable Trusts, Community based organisations and Commerce.

The full Board meets monthly on the last Wednesday of each month with the Finance and Audit Committees meeting as required.
