Mr. Alexander Michie

Mr. Alexander Michie , Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Dunedin, has had a large experience in banking pursuits, and is recognised as a very able financier. He was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1855, and commenced his banking career in England on the staff of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, and afterwards became accountant at the head office in London of the National Bank of New Zealand. After arriving in the Colony in 1884, Mr. Michie held the position of inspector for the same institution, and was subsequently appointed manager of the Dunedin branch of the bank. He joined the Bank of New Zealand in Dunedin as manager in 1891. Two years later, Mr. Michie paid a visit to Great Britain, and on his return to the Colony was offered the position of general manager of the Bank, which, however, he did not see his way to accept. He is a member of the Fernhill club, and is keenly interested in golfing, being a member of the Otago golf club. Mr. Michie was married in Timaru to a daughter of the late Mr. H. J. LeCren, of that district, and has, surviving, three children.
