I trained as a research chemist graduating from Auckland University in 1989 with a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry. Post doctoral study at Cambridge followed as did a role with Ciba Geigy Polymers (UK) developing epoxy based adhesives. After 5 years in the UK, Jane and I returned to New Zealand where I joined Douglas Pharmaceuticals. It was at Douglas that I made the transition from research chemist to manufacturing and production management. After five years as Operations Manager for Healtheries I joined Bell Tea in 2003. Over 13 years the business transformed into BrewGroup, New Zealand's lead hot beverage company, in which I was fortunate to be a shareholder. BrewGroup was bought out by JDE at the end of 2016 and I have remained in the business heading the manufacturing operation.
