Don is a highly regarded executive and leader within the New Zealand printing and signage industry, currently holding Director positions at ABC Original Print and ABC Photosigns. His extensive professional focus centres on driving business growth and integrating sustainable practices across the Point of Sale (POS), Point of Purchase (POP), Signage, and general Print markets.
Since 2016, Don has served as the Managing Director of ABC Original Print, building upon a long-standing leadership tenure that began in 1999 at ABC Photosigns (NZ) Ltd. A core pillar of his strategy has been the strategic expansion of the ABC Group through targeted acquisitions. This approach not only extends market reach but also emphasises the crucial work of successfully integrating the distinct cultures and operational "DNA" of the newly acquired print-related entities.
Operationally, Don's work is critical to managing the end-to-end production of large-scale printing projects, including the comprehensive printing and installation of real estate signage and marketing materials. Beyond commercial success, Don is committed to sustainability. Working within a family-led structure that includes Sandra and Ian, he champions the use of sustainable equipment and inks, actively challenging established industry norms to promote a greener standard for printing in New Zealand.
