management - particularly hr & legal very weak indeed . ' buddy ' culture has kept them all in situ . tail wags the dog here . . . .
lack of progression and career development , but this is partially related to the current market , you cant move up until somebody leaves .
most of the people are very nice , very well paid , good perks , good work life balance .
there are some cliques that can really hinder your progression , senior management lacked leadership and poor communication of company values etc .
leadership and communication style could be better to engage employees . more transparent promotion and get rid of the old boys network .
good people , better than average benefits . the company and its management tries to be financially responsible and looks after it ' s employees .
the company has grown too large and management is not equipped to manage it ' s size . internally it may appear the company has no desire to fix what isn ' t broken ; but really they can ' t digest the information fast enough .
take a page from other companies of similar size . consider mixing new ideas with tenured experience .
great benefits , excellent work / life balance and working culture , management is open to discussing advancement opportunities .

charles william fielden ( bill ) hamilton is born on july 26 at ashwick station , south canterbury , new zealand . son of william fielden hamilton and cora blackeney ( nee cannon ) , half - brother to cyril blackeney , brother to leila and catherine ( kitty ) hamilton .
charles william feilden hamilton was born at ashwick station near fairlie ( south island , new zealand ) on july 26 , 1899 . he was educated at waihi school , winchester , and later at christ’s college , christchurch . but it was to ashwick that he owed the education that encouraged his naturally inventive mind . the land provided him with the opportunity to best exploit his unique style of mechanical genius .
william hamilton is named on the queen’s honours list with an order of the british empire ( obe ) . its citation read : “for very valuable service in the field of engineering and especially in the design and construction of the jet - propelled motorboat . ”
steady expansion continued , and in 1948 sir william purchased a 10 hectare site at middleton , christchurch . a 465 square meter factory was constructed for the production of bulldozers , scrapers , excavators and hydraulic machinery . the shift to christchurch allowed the irishman creek workshop to become solely a research and development centre . this provided the opportunity to devote resources to the development of the hamilton waterjet . sir william’s first jetboat was a 3 . 6 meter ( 12 foot ) plywood hull with a 100 e ford engine , and the jet a centrifugal type pump . this craft was tested on the irishman creek dam and water race before successfully , if somewhat slowly , travelling up the waitaki river in early 1954 . from then on sir william and his team gradually improved the design of the waterjet , adding greater efficiency , power and speed .
the irishman creek workshop also became an important machining and engineering training facility during the second world war . here sir william taught many unskilled men to do high - precision work , with the workshop producing munitions as well as earthmoving equipment . towards the end of the war , sir william was required to make one of the most crucial decisions of his life . the increasing demand for agricultural and earthmoving equipment and machinery presented him with the choice of working within the limitations imposed at irishman creek , or expanding . never one to ignore a challenge , he decided to rent a small works building in bath street , christchurch and match the keen demand for his machines .
in 1954 his dream became a reality , and in the 50 years since the hamilton waterjet has revolutionised the world of conventional boating . a humble man , sir william often claimed that it was not he who invented the waterjet – that honour he attributed to the great mind of archimedes . his greatest achievement was to improve the idea and make it work in the specialised field of boat propulsion .
continual improvements in the waterjet design , particularly the shift to a multi - stage axial flow pumping system , allowed boats to travel to places that had never been accessible before . in 1960 , sir william’s son jon was a key member of the colorado river expedition team – the first to travel up through the grand canyon . over the next 20 years other ground - breaking trips were made up the sun kosi ( nepal ) , sepik ( papua new guinea ) , zaire , ganges and amazon rivers , and jetboats became widely used for flood relief , surveying and recreation . before his death in 1978 , bill hamilton was recognised for his services to manufacturing with a knighthood . in 1990 he was inducted into the new zealand sports hall of fame , and in 2004 he was inducted into the new zealand business hall of fame .
in 1921 bill hamilton bought the 10 , 000 hectare irishman creek station , one of the most notable sheep and cattle runs in the mackenzie country ( central otago ) . here he quickly established his first workshop – forerunner to the hamilton group of companies . his first project was the construction of a two hectare dam for a hydro - electric plant to provide power for the station’s homestead and workshop . conventional earth moving scoops proved inadequate so , in typical hamilton fashion , he invented his own more efficient model . this scoop , the “i . c . excavator” , was used extensively for local contract work , with several more being manufactured and sold in new zealand and britain . essentially a self - taught engineer , sir william spent countless evenings at his drawing board doodling and designing . while he approached problems in an unorthodox way , he always produced machines consistent with the best engineering practices .

accordingly , he took the cars for the east . while travelling on the new york and erie railroad he

on october 30 , 1910 , dressed in a rough serge suit , and without any baggage . his intention
was to go to america to amass a fortune . a communication received in new york from dr .
asked to search 18 months ago . it appears that dr . woodard , while in tromberg , montana ,
two days ago , accidentally met a man who seemed somewhat strange in manner . he talked
language , and returned to the united states . the stranger declared that his mother ' s father ,
made a fortune from the comstock silver lode in virginia city , nevada ] . he had a soldierly
bearing , polished manner , and quick actions . dr . woodard says he found that the man was

baronet of easton neston , towcester . he was formerly a lieutenant in the 9th lancers , and
lady fermor - hesketh had rented for the shooting season . on october 29 , 1910 , he was
motoring back from easton neston , when he met his mother outside banbury . he stopped
rather later , as he had to leave a dog at a veterinary surgeon ' s at banbury . that was the
last time lady hesketh saw her son . enquiries made subsequently showed that he had left
the car in banbury and travelled to london . a brown leather bag , a rug , and some other
articles were found on the steamer which reached kingstown from holyhead on october 30 .

trace of him was lost . he was in good health , and , so far as was known , had no reason for

he was then a lieutenant in the 9th lancers and was aged 27 years . he had returned to
his mother at chedshurst manor , kineton , in warwickshire . on october 29 he was motoring
from easton neston and he met lady fermor - hesketh , who was in her car , outside banbury .
he stopped and spoke to her . he said that he would be late as he had to leave a dog with
a veterinary surgeon at banbury , adding -
i will follow you in a few minutes .
he was not
seen again by his mother . inquiries showed that he had put his car into a garage and taken
the 5 . 15 p . m . train to london . some personal baggage belonging to him was found in the
steamship leinster , which arrived at kingstown in ireland at 6 a . m . on october 30 , 1910 . but
from that all trace of the missing man was lost . he was in his usual health and unembarrassed
by any financial or domestic trouble , and no reason could be assigned for his disappearance .

bill hamilton ' s childhood in the high country allowed him a freedom that encouraged independence , self - reliance and an innovative approach to solving problems . from paddling around local streams and the station ' s dam in an old tin washtub , he graduated to a sailing raft , canoe and , eventually , a land - yacht , all home - built . by the time he was 12 he had already sensed the potential of water as a source of power , and had installed a water - wheel which drove a small generator . it developed one horsepower , sufficient to light the homestead and power a small lathe , drill and emery wheel .
after attending waihi school at winchester , in 1915 bill moved to christ ' s college , christchurch , as a boarder . it was a frustrating time for the free - spirited country boy , who soon found himself enmeshed in a rigid routine of lessons , rules and discipline . after his half - brother , cyril blakeney , was killed in action in the sinai desert in august 1916 , bill left college to help his ailing father run ashwick . in 1921 he began farming on his own account when he bought irishman creek station , in the heart of the mackenzie country , for £16 , 000 .
after bill ' s sister leila died in may 1922 leaving a 10 - day - old son , sholto ( dick ) hamilton georgeson , the hamiltons travelled to england . there bill met margery ( peggy ) lampkin wills , a spirited young woman who had worked in a munitions factory during the first world war and completed a training course in the dairy industry . they married in london on 26 october 1923 , and left for new zealand three weeks later . in addition to caring for dick , they were to have a son , jon , and a daughter , june .
with the support and encouragement of his wife , hamilton managed to successfully combine farm duties with the increasing challenges of an inventive mind and the pursuit of his love of speed . he won a series of motor races in his 1914 sunbeam and in 1925 became the first driver in australasia to exceed 100 miles per hour ; in 1928 he set a new record of 109 miles per hour . in 1927 , when he needed electricity for the station ' s new homestead and workshop , he designed and built a tractor - drawn scoop to construct a dam to provide water for a 17 . 5 - kilowatt hydroelectric plant . he built several of these scoops and used them on construction contracts throughout new zealand , including the first aerodrome at mt cook ( 1935 ) , another on great barrier island ( 1937 ) , and flood protection works at karamea ( 1937 ) . returning from a business trip to hamilton in february 1936 , he was lucky to escape with only minor injuries when his aeroplane crashed at wellington ' s rongotai airport , killing the well - known pilot malcolm mcgregor .
in 1939 hamilton designed and built an angle - dozer in a new workshop at irishman creek . during the second world war the workshop had 17 employees and manufactured munitions , but the development of earthmoving and other machinery continued : a loader - dozer was followed by road graders , loaders , mobile cranes and ditch - diggers , all operated by hamilton - designed hydraulics . in 1945 c . w . f . hamilton and company limited was formed to manufacture these machines in a modern factory on a 10 - acre site at middleton , christchurch . under hamilton ' s direction , and with eric chapman as general manager , the company developed a heavy - engineering capability , producing bridge girders , equipment for hydroelectric schemes , railway wagons , busbars for the bluff aluminium smelter and other specialised equipment . in 1972 dick georgeson became general manager . hamilton perry industries limited was established to manufacture light roll - formed products ; by the early 1980s the hamilton group of companies employed more than 500 people .
however , it was bill hamilton ' s pioneering work in successfully developing water - jet propulsion in the early 1950s that made his name world famous . he had always dreamed of designing a boat that could go against the flow of rivers too shallow for conventional propeller - driven craft . he never claimed to have invented the jet - boat ; the water - jet principle was not new and had already been applied with some success to low - speed displacement craft overseas . hamilton ' s achievement was in designing a jet unit that would propel a planing hull efficiently at high speeds and with the advantages of a shallow draught . much of the early test work was carried out on the dam behind his homestead and on the rivers of the mackenzie country . with the help of a small team of dedicated young engineers , including george davison and bill ' s son jon , the hamilton jet unit was developed into a highly successful product and was marketed worldwide .
in 1961 bill hamilton was appointed an obe , and in 1974 he received a knighthood for his services to manufacturing . he died near fairlie on 30 march 1978 , survived by his wife and children . peggy died in 1982 . they are buried side by side in the burke ' s pass cemetery , in the heart of the land they loved so much .
