H&Js Early Founders and Leaders

From Vicki............

"I worked at H&J Smith for 23 years in various buying and management roles, and after closure as an amateur archivist. Spending 8 months scanning, photographing, recording and packing the archival material was a unique privilege, and an insight into just how important the H&Js history is to the multitude of families who worked there, to Southland and to NZ retail. I now spend my time consulting on H&Js history, garden design and business consulting."
