Mr. William Wood

Mr. William Wood, the Sole Partner, who is the eldest son of Mr. W. D. Wood, was born in Christchurch in 1858, educated at Christ's College, and brought up to mercantile life. He entered a London office for about two years, returning to Christchurch to join the firm of Wood, Shand and Co., with whom he was connected for fifteen years. On the dissolution of partnership, Mr. Wood took over that section of the business which he has since conducted and greatly developed. For many years Mr. Wood has been a member of the committee of the Chamber of Commerce, and is a member of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association. He was married in 1895 to a daughter of the late Mr. R. Loughnan. Mrs. Wood died leaving one son and two daughters.
