Marlborough Chamber of Commerce

One of two directors at Wallace Diack Chartered Accountants, Tony balances his time between leading and developing the practice and working closely with a number of clients enabling them to look at company growth, expansion, restructuring or optimum time to sell. Living in Blenheim for 19 years, Tony has seen a huge change in the region with the horticulture sector moving from fruit trees to grape vines, wineries producing iconic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, the aquaculture sector’s growth and development with mussels, clams, and salmon farming, and tourism now being Marlborough’s largest export market.

Over these years Tony has spent time in the community in the following positions:

a founding trustee of Marlborough College Charitable Foundation
a chartered member of the Institute of Directors
a former president of Marlborough Chamber of Commerce
a former chairman of Marlborough Boys’ College Board of Trustees
a former trustee of the Rata Foundation.
