Building Futures: The Downer Story by Steve Barnett and Richard Wolfe

Downer and Co. was founded by Wellington engineer Arnold Downer in 1933, but the company is able to lay claim to a far longer history than those 80-plus years, given a lineage that stretches back to New Zealand's Public Works Department established in 1870 and the Post and Telegraph Department in 1880. These antecedents have contributed hugely to the company's DNA, which has been further added to by the contributions of experience and expertise brought into Downer over the years through growth and acquisition. Today Downer stands as one of New Zealand's pre-eminent infrastructure construction and operations companies, and a successful part of its parent, Downer Group. This book, BUILDING FUTURES, is the remarkable story of the history and evolution of a small private concern under Arnold Downer to a major listed Australian-headquartered company, a leader in its industry and active not only in Australia and New Zealand but also in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
