Fairview at 50: How a fire in Timaru marked the start of a successful Kiwi business

tarynm@fairviewgroup.co.nz (Taryn Miller) — Thu, 22 Nov 2018 20:50:00 GMT

In 1968 the Fairview factory burnt to the ground. Owner Peter Lewis’s entrepreneurial journey had begun only six months prior. He’d bought a steel manufacturing plant in Timaru and set up shop alongside two staff. When the fire devastated his factory he’d been in business for just three months. The destruction was a huge blow and would’ve seen many simply give up. But Peter and his team worked through a bitter winter to rebuild the factory and create the beginnings of a thriving Kiwi business. His determination and resilience became the bedrock of our values and would help Fairview develop into the successful and trusted brand it is today.
