Reflections on a Life Well Lived: A Tribute to Sir Ron Trotter

17 August 2010, Roger Kerr, Old St Paul's, Wellington

Margaret and the family have asked me to reflect on Sir Ron’s role in business and public affairs and I’m honoured to do so. I loved Ron like a father. So it was with a heavy heart that I sat down to write these notes on Friday.


Chairman's Remarks

20 November 2008, Rob McLeod

We said from the outset that the policies put in place by the last government to achieve its laudable goal of raising New Zealand's relative living standards and place in the OECD rankings could not succeed, and that they would move New Zealand further away from that goal. It gives us no satisfaction to have been proved right.
