'''Reviewing or being a critic in employment is a skill. My early twenties were a Trade Union official for the Hotel Workers Union. Prior to this role I held the position of H.A.N.Z co-ordinator. Attending Business Roundtable meetings and meeting people like Doug Myers and others was a rewarding experience. I would also fondly remember attending meetings at Glendowie. Whilst I worked as a Union Official I met a student called Peter Blake who I then ended up sailing yachts with. Running around the Viaduct Basin and enjoying the Waitemata harbour was a thrilling experience. After a few years in the role as a Union Official I would chair Auckland Trades Council. My background was of a coroners assistant. My hobby was photography. To meet senior members of the Business Roundtable of New Zealand was an amazing opportunity when I attended meetings was rewarding and stimulating......... More to come such as writing for Metro Magazine after meeting with Robyn Langwell. Lion Breweries was a company going places.'''
