Nigal transferred to Brisbane in 1999 as National Sales Manager to establish the successful Australian arm of our business – no mean feat for a New Zealand company. Given the depth of his technical knowledge, his ability to articulate difficult concepts simply, his creative mind, his personable approach and his attention to detail, Nigal has gathered a broad portfolio of responsibilities which we call Technical, Product Innovation and Marketing (TPIM) and he is also our passionate Environmental Ambassador.

His discipline, level of professionalism and drive to succeed have been integral in the growth of our business and we feel entirely in good hands.

Our NZ finance team based in Christchurch, under Jonathan’s watch, is a smooth-running and valued component of our business. With his prior experience in packaging and retail as a base, Jonathan developed an in-depth knowledge of the intimate workings of Hally and his ability and capacity to contribute across all areas is now substantial. His addition to the Leadership Team in 2018 was earned and welcomed.

Adam Bond
Chief Technology Officer
Joined in 1994
Adam has responsibility for IT in all it's forms within our company including planning, infrastructure, service levels, IT policy, security and disaster recovery. He also manages our Prepress and Estimating functions in which he holds a great amount of expertise, and whenever we want a complex report or for CERM to do somersaults, he is our top guy. Adam celebrated his 25-year service anniversary with Hally Labels in 2019 and his deep knowledge of our business plus his talent with technology made him a natural choice for this newly-created role. His addition to the Leadership Team in 2020 was well-deserved.
