New image bord of director

Graeme Clegg

FOUNDING CHAIRMAN Graeme Clegg is the founder of the New Image group of companies. Since its inception over 25 years ago Graeme has been a pioneer in the development of colostrum products and his knowledge of the nutrition industry has seen him become a regular speaker at international industry conferences. 2009 is Graeme’s ‘second coming’ to the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. A 2003 category winner, he decided to make the return foray for the reason his list of achievements has continued to grow since then: a New Zealand Stock Exchange listing; a tenfold increase in turnover; a successful launch into two more countries; the development of retail pands and FMCG as well as the direct sales lines; and the creation of a scientific division for product development and support; and the building of two manufacturing plants to keep up with demand.
