However, he is likely to be best remembered as a principal architect of Fletcher Challenge, which for a decade, thanks to its substantial overseas and local investments, was internationally regarded as New Zealand Inc. The company assembled Toyota cars, was a major builder, produced steel and most other building materials, operated the dominant farm supply company, exported newsprint and logs, operated on a global scale in pulp and paper, and owned substantial oil and gas reserves here and in Canada."
