After starting work at Shell Chemicals back in New Zealand, he returned to London to work at Shell International Chemical Company. He returned to New Zealand and took on a role at Mainland Products, which was to be the beginning of his journey back to the supermarket firm. Mr Anderson was proud of Foodstuffs’ role in helping the Christchurch community cope with the earthquakes. Foodstuffs South Island chairman Russell McKenzie said Mr Anderson was a proud Southerner who enjoyed mountain biking, fly fishing and family life — and had taken the turnover of Foodstuffs South Island from $1.2billion in 2000 to $3.3billion in 2020.
