Fouding Director - Lloyd Morrison

Lloyd established HRL Morrison & Co in 1988, a merchant bank which specialises in the infrastructure industry (and in supporting the arts). Lloyd's business operates from offices in New Zealand, Australia and Europe. In New Zealand his business is well known for the establisment and running of Infratil.
As a long term supporter of the arts and music in particular, he established the HRL Morrison Music Trust in 1995 to support New Zealand musicians and composers, with a special emphasis on the production and marketing of recordings on the TrustRecords label.

The Trust's first project was the recording of Michael Houstoun's performance of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas, which won the Recording Industry Association award in 1995 for classical music. In 1996, the Music Trust embarked on a landmark project to record and produce a double-CD set of music by up-and-coming composer Gareth Farr.

More recently, Lloyd established the HRL Morrison Arts Trust which has launched Artscalendar as a site to co-ordinate promotion of the disparate interests of New Zealand's arts sector.

It was Farr who introduced Lloyd to Ross Hendy, and shortly after he and Ross jointly formed Promethean Editions Limited. Since then, Lloyd has been actively involved in the growth and development of Promethean Editions, working to promote the company and keeping a watchful eye on publishing standards.
When Lloyd is not buying airports on behalf of Infratil he travels the world actively protesting against the intolerable suffering of musicians and audiences held-up for days on end in performances of Wagner's monstrous Ring Cycle. Wherever one of these productions is to be seen, he will be found, selflessly occupying a seat in order that the more fortunate amongst the music-loving public will not have to.
