Hamilton Logan – Richmond Meats

9 March Hamilton Logan – Richmond Meats
Hamilton Logan, past chairman of Richmond Meats will talk on the history of Richmond Meats, and founder W Richmond.
Richmond Meats began trading in 1930, and the company and its founder suffered mixed fortunes in the early years of trading.
Landmarks spokesperson Michael Fowler said “This company’s history is fascinating; from the charismatic owner to the takeover attempts by Brierley Investments, mergers and finally the intense struggle that led to the end of Richmond Meats as it was known in 2005”.
“Hamilton Logan will recount these stories with personal anecdotes, including meeting with past Prime Minister Robert Muldoon to de-licence the meat industry in the 1970s.”
