Neil Shewan, Business Manager for Bowron Sheepskins, receives an award for outstanding leadership in turning around an earthquake damaged tannery into a fully functioning facility within weeks.

"It was a team effort, I cannot express how grateful I am to the team at Bowron, each and everyone came together under the most stressful times and cleaned the place up under very difficult conditions".... says Shewan. The initial thought was that Bowron would be severely handicapped in meeting orders for key customers globally but there was no issue with deliveries. "It is business as usual" says Kerry Greene, Marketing Manager for Bowron.
