One family's involvement in a major New Zealand export industry

Peter Norman has written a wonderful story about his father and himself.

It is not unusual for old established companies to be handed on to sons, particularly if the sons should show a very real interest. What is remarkable in this instance is that the Normans, father and son, were for decades in charge of the very important New Zealand end of a company owned by another family,the Borthwicks in England.

This story concentrates on the important issues of the past 100 years, detailing them with stories about the changes as they occured. The book never comes just as a history of a company, but is an absorbing narratice of the changes and challenges that faced the whole meat industry through the decades.

Rare book of its type.
