I have known Alister for more than 20 years since his days at ABB Service when my former Company, Electropar, was a supplier to that organisation. We crossed paths again when he joined the same Rotary Club as the one I belonged to, that being the Rotary Club of Auckland East Inc.

Alister excels in leadership roles and his talents were put to very good use in Rotary where he delivered much innovation and was recognised for his commitment to “service above self” by being awarded three Paul Harris Fellows, the highest award any Rotary Club member can have bestowed upon them.

Whilst a member of Auckland East Rotary, he was instrumental in establishing the Stellar Trust, an organisation founded with the goal of teaching young people about the dangers of methamphetamine and remains the Deputy Chairman of the Trust today.

Alister is a special individual. He is a logical thinker and gets up every morning with a will to solve problems. This enthusiasm for doing things makes it easy to attract others to the cause, even when it is a high bar to leap over.

I value our friendship and the adventures we have had together over the years.
