What did Phar Lap and South Canterbury Finance have in common?
They were both born in the same year, both became the greatest icons of their time and were both murdered
Allan Hubbard was born 2 years after them and he worked hard and became a chartered accountant
With a desire to help people Allan built South Canterbury Finance which eventually became the biggest and most respected finance company in New Zealand and as a result he became the richest man in the South Island.
Those who make a living from cutting down tall poppies did not murder Allan Hubbard and his wife Jean they just striped them both of their assets and left them to die a slow death in their modest home in Timaru
