Brian ALLISON Obituary

I first meet Brian when he was Chairman of Aon NZ during our start up phase and he subsequently employed me as CEO a role I held for 27 years .
Brian played a pivotal part in guiding the company´s growth in our formative years ,ensuring its success .From my perspective we had a great Chairman/ CEO relationship ,Brian was a mentor and a friend .
His integrity and sense of fair play were beyond reproach, his wisdom has been a guiding light for me for many years .
Regretfully circumstances has prevented me from attending today but my thoughts will be with Trish and family.
RIP Brian and thank you Geoff Blampied

So sorry to hear of Brian's passing. He was such an inspiration to me during our times together at Seeka. Unfortunately I am unable to make the service.

So sorry to read of Brian passing. I have many happy memories of times spent with him and Trish and the rest of the Allison family. It is hard to lose a parent grandfather but we have all the happy memories. Love to you all. Alison Newell (Ardy)

Dear Trish,
My condolences on the passing of Brian, our time together at Frank B Hall was
an inspiration to me.

To Trish & Family,
Our association with Brian and yourself during the KiwiFruit Industries years, will never be forgotten.
It was a great pleasure working with Brian, he was a excellent boss and mentor, and later a great business partner in KIL.
He had such a great influence in where we are today which we are so thankful for.
He was just a true gentleman and a wonderful person.
Thinking of you all at this very sad time.
Bill & Di Ingham.
