Mr. Thomas Drummond

Mr. Thomas Drummond was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1874, and arrived in New Zealand in 1881. He was educated at the Port Chalmers High School, and subsequently returned to Glasgow to learn shipbuilding, marine engineering, and draughtsmanship. After serving an apprenticeship of eight years Mr. Drummond returned to the colony, and accepted a position as draughtsman with Messrs F. W. Payne and J. C. McGeorge. Soon after the mining boom broke out, he was entrusted with the building of two dredges in Central Otago, which he successfully accomplished. He established his present business in 1902. Mr. Drummond is a member of the Dunedin Bowling and Tennis Clubs, and is also an enthusiastic player of the association game of football.
