It was special to sit down with Ian Farrant as he was a director of The New Zealand Salmon Company which is the reason our family moved here in 1989 as my Father is a marine biologist and we came here for that job.

We start with Ian's early childhood memories which includes war rations in the 1940s, growing up in Dunedin, his studies and early career and then we talk abou this governance roles over the years and what he has learned as a director of around 40 entities over the years.

Jonathan is the founder of Caliber Design and in this conversation we talk about the process of creativity and what it takes to create products as well as creating team culture and the components of strategy. We also focussed in on what it means to really understand the problem before you start to design a solution. We start with his childhood though and what he learned from growing up next to Rolleston Prison as a child and how he started his career at Tait Electronics before helping to design a variety of products. This is a great conversation showing a Christchurch based company growing and achieving a lot in the area of mechanical engineering.

About the Life Chair: https://www.infact.co.nz/project/life-chair

"Caliber Design was founded in the wake of two major events that had a profound impact on the New Zealand economy: the global financial crisis and the Canterbury earthquakes. During this challenging period, many businesses struggled to survive and the resulting uncertainty led to a reluctance to take on permanent staff. This left companies short-staffed and unable to take advantage of opportunities that arose. However, Jonathan Prince, Caliber's Founding Director, saw an opportunity in the midst of the chaos. He recognized that businesses needed project-based mechanical engineering resources, delivered on-demand and tailored to their specific needs. This knowledge led to the creation of Caliber in 2015, with a mission to provide exceptional project-based engineering services to businesses throughout New Zealand. Starting out with five engineers in 2015, Caliber has grown significantly and now boasts a team of over 50 highly skilled professionals. They work on secondment for clients across the country, delivering world-class mechanical engineering solutions. By providing a flexible and responsive approach to engineering services, Caliber has become a trusted partner to businesses across New Zealand."
