ABOUT
Biography of Fred Turnovsky, Czech immigrant, businessman and philanthropist.

He was instrumental in getting the government to convene Arts Conference 70, which he chaired.
By the mid 1960s Tatra was one of the largest makers of soft leather goods in Australasia, and was one of the first 10 New Zealand companies to be awarded a government Export Award in 1966.
