Attendees at the annual Campbell Tyson Cooper White Christmas Luncheon were spellbound by special guest speaker Nigel McKenna's presentation at the PIA Centre last week. Nigel talked to the group of business people from Franklin and beyond about some of his high profile projects including the $1 billion Kawarau Falls Station in Queenstown.

This outstanding landmark has had meticulous attention to detail go into its design. Consideration for both the historical and environmental aspects of the site has been paramount.

Nigel also discussed the responsibility business leaders must take to develop emerging businesses to ensure the economic well-being of New Zealand. 

The luncheon was a fabulous finale to the Campbell Tyson Cooper White sponsored business breakfast series which saw speakers like Dr John McDermott, Assistant Governor of the Reserve Bank and Ashley Berrysmith, 2007 Entrepreneur of the Year address Franklin's business community.
