Morrison Kent Volunteers in the Wellington Corporate Challenge

Posted 2009

On 20 March a group of weed thirsty Morrison Kent Wellington Staff took to the hills of Mount Victoria for a spot of gardening in support of theVolunteer Wellington2009 Corporate Challenge. After a brief description of our foe (the insidious asparagus fern) we went into the bush armed only with secateurs, trowels and considerable enthusiasm.  Within a few hours the hillside was pest free.

In the afternoon we were joined by John McDougall and students from Clyde Quay School to clean up areas around young trees the students had planted the year before.  With a plentiful supply of coffee bean sacks from as far afield as Bolivia, we put down an organic layer to protect against further weed onslaught for years to come.

This was Morrison Kent's third year in the Corporate Challenge, and another satisfying opportunity to assist some great community causes.

Morrison Kent Wellington is proud to sponsor Andrew Thomson, principal second violin for the NZSO.

Pre-dominantly a right arm fast bowler, Andrew is also a middle order batsman with a highest score of 100 not out and best bowling figures of 7 for 16.  he dislikes rainy Saturdays, poor officiating and dropped catches (when bowling), and likes swimming, sledging opponents, and dropped catches (when batting).  His team mates have however noticed a marked drop in productivity since the birth of his son in 2004.

Andrew has been Principal Second Violin in the NZSO since 2000.  Prior to that he studied at Victoria University and attained a Masters of Music degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.  He is an active Chamber musician, playing viola for Felix the Quartet and contempory music ensemble Stroma.
