The Christchurch earthquakes which contributed to significant damage on the Lyttleton and the Eastern suburbs of Christchurch affected the 130 year old Bowron tannery with cracks on the ground,silt, mud and buildings which were deemed unsafe for workers. Many questioned the viability and ongoing life of the tannery. Today the Christchurch Press reports a magnificent and proud recovery of the tannery. "The whole team came together, the manufacturing team had to work really hard in difficult conditions to make this happen" says Neil Shewan, Business Manager and Project Leader for the recovery for Bowron.
