Abstract

Fred Cowan had spent the first half of his working life in the timber industry in New Zealand. He had worked his way up through the industry with different companies and at a number of mills. At one point, he had been managing one of the largest sawmills in New Zealand. He had also done a fair amount of consulting on sawmill project, both in New Zealand and overseas (see Appendix 1 for an extract from his curriculum vitae), but for some time had wanted to own his own sawmill. He achieved that when the new Central Manawatu Timber (CMT) Edgehill mill opened in May 2001, with Fred as a joint owner with two partners.
