Fred Soar

Under his guidance, Soar Print has became widely recognised as an innovator in New Zealand’s print industry, particularly in the areas of sustainability and lean manufacturing.

Originally a photolithographer, he draws on a wealth of knowledge gained in production management roles in a leading New Zealand design agency, general management of two large printing companies and a stint in the signage industry. Brian is very hands on and enjoys technological adventures that take Soar Printing where no NZ printing company has gone before.
