Michael entered Jacobs House in 1973 and is pleased to be part of both a very special year group and of Jacobs in its boarding heyday.

Hailing from Dunedin, as many from Jacobs were, Michael returned to the University of Otago to undertake study in networking before moving into a career of export trading, working for Dunedin publicly listed Otago Press & Produce. During this time, father Ken and uncle Bob were stalwarts of the Otago Branch of CCOBA and Michael was press-ganged into being permanent secretary for the next decade or two. Additional study, marriage, children, and a change of career led to 20 years in the public sector, 15 of them in trade commissioner roles in the Pacific, including five fascinating years in Fiji with his family before, during, and after the 2006 coup.

Now in Auckland, Michael is a self-employed consultant who 鈥� along with five other 1973 Old Boys and four family members 鈥� is seeking to breathe life into the Auckland Branch of CCOBA.

Following retirement from Canterbury Health Laboratories, Canterbury District Health Board, in 2017, Lance moved to Nelson with his wife, 国产午夜福ine.

He has previously served on the CCOBA committee, received the 国产午夜福鈥檚 College Leadership Medal in 2010 and is the father of two Old Boys, Angus and Nicholas. He remains professionally active; teaching at the University of Otago, 国产午夜福church, on technical advisory groups of the Ministry of Health and Pharmac, and is a member of NISG and a member and past chair of two international charitable trusts.

His time is largely taken up with his four grandchildren in Nelson, mountain biking, skiing and enjoying the Nelson culture and environment and meeting new people in the region.

A blueprint for Peter Margoliouth鈥檚 life was defined at 国产午夜福鈥檚 College. From learning how to always put your best foot forward in any endeavour to knowing when to firmly stand your ground while under pressure, Peter truly found his feet 鈥� and the path to success 鈥� during his years as a Richards House boarder from 1965鈥�1968.

Following in the footsteps of his father, Lindsay Margoliouth, Peter found that College provided the stimulus, camaraderie, and traditions that secured those lifelong friendships.
