Our Ambassador’s Programme bring people together who have a vision of pursuing a better future for New Zealand wool.
Thank you to all of our incredible Ambassadors.
“Sir Sam Neill was Campaign for Wool NZ’s global ambassador. A lifelong New Zealand wool devotee, he gave of his time freely, generously and whole-heartedly, catapulting New Zealand wool into the spotlight…just by being himself.
Sam campaigned passionately on the things he believed in. We will always be grateful for the gift he gave New Zealand wool. Our aroha goes out to his family, his friends and all those he loved dearly.”
Kara Biggs, General Manager

Robert has built a strong portfolio of residential and commerical interior work. His design philosophy is centred around a process of close consultation to understand your needs and ideas, while bringing his own expertise and experience to bear.
Whether working on a commercial or residential, Robert believes there is often a wool answer. Not only is it hardwearing, wool breathes and is perfect for use in rugs, carpets, upholstery, drapery, manchester, wall coverings, insulation and has many acoustic applications.
Robert, thank you for being an active supporter of the Campaign.
