Elektron Group has received the sad news of the passing of one of its founders, Morrie Chandler, aged 85.
Morrie, alongside David Ward, established Ward Chandler in 1972. Together, they built Ward Chandler Waikato Limited into a respected and successful business, leading it until their retirement in late 2006.
In November 2013, Ward Chandler Waikato Limited was rebranded as Elektron Group Limited, continuing the legacy they created.
We acknowledge Morrie’s significant contribution to the company and the industry, and the strong foundations he helped build that remain today.
Elektron extends its sincere condolences to Morrie’s family and friends.
Rest in peace, Morrie.
