Nelson Brothers Limited

Nelson Brothers Limited meat processors and importers was incorporated in London in 1883 to purchase as of 1 July 1883 the meat works at Tomoana, Hawkes Bay. These boiling down and canning works erected in 1880 were run as Nelson Brothers and Co by William Nelson, his brother Frederick Nelson (1839–1908) and their partner, J N Williams later of Frimley, Hastings.

Double taxation forced the sale of the New Zealand works to Vestey and New Zealand Refrigeration Company in 1919. Thereafter, no longer operating a business, Nelson Brothers had become an investment vehicle and it was renamed Nelson Financial Trust Limited in 1927.
