Managing Director

The company is involved in several aviation projects, health promotion and recently
branched into international tertiary education. We are working with the University of
Waikato, Ministry of Defence (NZ), Ministry of Customs (NZ), China, India and

I have worked closely with aviation-based companies, transport companies. I visited

China and reviewed the GA China Aviation market. SALLACK now has several
consultants working for it in Beijing.

Previously established a relationship strategy between PAC (NZ based company) and
Investment Quebec an SOE based in Montreal, Canada. This has led to the formation
of a joint venture between Mecachrome International Inc and PAC (PAC-
Mecachrome Inc.) to assemble and market the new 750XL turbine aircraft. The
JV.has already assembled 3 aircraft for the North American market.

Cluster Theory and Practice

A SALLACK Project

I worked closely with Graham Smith of the Katolyst Group and Peter Smyth of
NZTE. Mr. Graham Smith prepared a paper for Government on the advantages of an
Aviation Cluster in Hamilton. I reviewed part of this paper for Mr. Smith.
 3

Recently Katolyst and NZTE supported a visit from a Chinese contingent which I
partly subsidized. The purpose of the visit was to introduce the Chinese to
Hamilton’s aviation cluster. They met representatives from Alpha Aviation, Pacific
Aerospace Corporation and Flight Structures.

Peter Smyth assisted in the meetings with Guy Tapley, Investment Manager,
Investment New Zealand and other senior officials from NZTE. These meetings took
place in Wellington and culminated in a very interesting meeting with the Chinese
Ambassador.
