What makes us Made From New Zealand?
Matt Newton (Managing Director and Chief Pilot) has been a pilot throughout his career. Flying is in the Newton Family's blood!
Matt's father, Harold Newton, flew with Bomber, Fighter and Transport Commands for the Royal Airforce during world War II.
At the end of the war, Harold flew a single engined Ercoupe monoplane all the way from Belgium back home to New Plymouth. This amazing feet was closely followed in the press.
On a fateful day in 2003 when Matt was flying for the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter service, he was called to an incident at the family farm. Harold had had an accident with a tractor that sadly cost him his life. Harold was 86.
Matt is married to Tammy, who's father is a helicopter pilot and flew in the New Zealand Airforce and for Helicopters NZ Ltd.
Tammy's brother, Garth Shaw, is also a helicopter pilot and the PHL Base Manager at New Plymouth (Urenui).
