Green And Hall Ltd.

NZ manufacturer of records, homewares and electrical goods. It was owned by Fred Green who was a former engineer with the Radio Corporation Of New Zealand Ltd. and Tom Hall, also ex-RCNZ. In 1953/4 the company acquired two NZ pressing plants, one in Wellington from His Master's Voice (NZ) Limited, and one in Auckland from Stebbing Recording And Sound Co. Ltd..

From the mid-1960s, Green And Hall Ltd also had a joint venture business with His Master's Voice (NZ) Limited manufacturing radios and whitewares in Wellington and then Masterton. They sold their share to His Master's Voice (NZ) Limited's successor EMI (NZ) Ltd. in 1973. From the 1960s until at least 1973, the manager was Walter Siebers. The company still exists in 2018.
