General Manager – Hamish McMurdo
Hamish joined Southland disAbility Enterprises Ltd. after many years working outside of the region. Hamish, a born and bred Southlander, is thrilled to be 
enjoying the delights of living and working in Southland.
Hamish’s background includes being a butcher by trade followed by time in the food processing industry. He then went on to teaching during which he was introduced to disability in education where he honed his skills working with, and advocating for people with disabilities.
Hamish has been a referee for over 20 years and now coaches rugby referees both on the local and representative scene. He has also had a long association with cricket coaching and coached the North Otago Team to Hawke Cup victory in 2016.
Hamish sets high expectations for both himself and the staff. With this in mind he hopes to capitalise on the robust foundations that have been laid in the past at Southland disAbility Enterprises Ltd.
