Mr. Charles Holdsworth

Mr. Charles Holdsworth , General Manager of the Company, was born in Wellington, on the 14th of December, 1863, and there he received his education. He entered the office of the Black Diamond line in 1880, and was subsequently appointed branch manager at Westport. When the Union Company purchased the Black Diamond fleet in 1885, Mr. Holdsworth transferred his services to the Company, and remained at Westport in the capacity of manager until 1891, when he was transferred to Hobart as manager for Tasmania. In 1898 he was appointed Chief Manager and Inspector in Dunedin, and in 1901 General Manager of the Company.
