“The Man with the Van” in the 1930s and 1940s.
Brian Homersham, born in 1915, was a smart and imaginative child who established his own improvised studio. He began his work as an apprentice electrician for the Christchurch City Council, where he later earned two engineering degrees.
Brian travelled to the United Kingdom to complete his technical education in 1939, despite the prospect of World War II breaking out. He made a maritime excursion and spent the entire time in the ship’s engine room, being the ever-practical man that he was. When war broke out shortly after Brian’s arrival, he was sent to the Ministry of Supply’s ordnance department.
Brian married his fiancee in 1944, once she had finally arrived in the UK. Following WWII, they traveled to the United Kingdom to meet with potential partners and stock up on materials for the company they planned to create when they returned to New Zealand.
The lack of a client list and a well-established corporation in New Zealand made this a difficult task. Because of the project’s intricacy, Brian assumed the role of engineer.
Brian and his wife established B. R. Homersham Ltd (BRH) in a single room at 82 Hereford Street in Christchurch three months after their arrival in New Zealand in the middle of 1946.
