Saddened to hear of Roger's passing. The Australasian Confectionery Industry greatly valued his contribution over many years. He was generous with his knowledge and expertise to fellow business owners both in NZ and Australia. His leadership of the CMA's New Zealand branch in particular, and the CMA's activities in general, were much appreciated and helped us punch above our weight in what were and continue to be, challenging times.

My condolences to Dixie, Regan and the family at this sad time,

I would like to express my condolences to the Halliwell family on the loss of Roger. He was a fine businessman with positive vision and the ability to make something work that the major companies could not.A great example of how a small to medium-size company can succeed in a competive market.
May He Rest In Peace
