Welcome to The Central App’s newest team member Dorothy Boyd, who has recently started in a client liaison and administration role.

Joining the team from her new home base in Oturehua, Dorothy is no stranger to Central, she’s been holidaying here for many years.

Initially her family rented a farm cottage on Pisa sheep station and then her family bought a crib here in 2007. 

“In Central we love the outdoors, biking, fishing and all that’s on offer. One trip home I recall it was sunny and 28’C in Cromwell and then when we got home to Dunedin it was 11 degrees and raining.

“I resolved then, we needed to be here, permanently.”

Her two sons Rory and Jack are grown up (a policeman near Hamilton and an engineer in Dunedin) but through their friendships with the farming community her family had a fabulous social life every visit to Central. 

Dorothy’s background is in paediatric dentistry and with a PhD under her belt she’s an accomplished researcher.

After a career change for health reasons earlier this year, The Central App is thrilled to have her skills, empathy and ability on the team.

When Dorothy's not working you can find her enjoying her hobbies of gardening, cooking, writing, fitness, and walking with her dogs. 

Former client liaison Caitlyn Thomson has moved on to be fulltime focused on her two young boys and Dorothy has hit the ground running, uploading events, job listing and marketing.

The Central App has increased its reach by 50 per cent and now connects with an average of 23,000 readers each month. 

Our clients are trusted businesses across Central Otago, and we can tailor marketing banners, ads, splash screens, in-story ads, sponsored content, event listing and promotion to capture the attention of the 90 per cent of locals who check The Central App weekly.
