Obituary Evening Post,
Thursday 2 September 1999:
John Thomas Shacklock,
businessman was educated at Timaru Boys High School and St Andrews,
Christchurch. In 1937 he married Sally Lindsay and they had one
daughter. They were divorced and he later married Lindsay Knight
with whom he had two daughters. He served in the Middle East and
Italy during WWII with the 20th Armoured Regiment as a Captain. He
was managing director of Shacklock Limited from 1951 - 1971. Jack
Shacklock described himself as a humble foundryman. Understatement
was one of his strong suits. He would not have admitted it, but he
was one of New Zealand's gentlemen industrialists. The family
fortunes were founded on the pioneering work of his grandfather,
Henry Ely Shacklock, a Nottingham ironmoulder who set up a foundry
in Dunedin in 1871. Henry Shacklock's range, designed for burning New Zealand coals,
was a winner, and 40 men were permanently assigned to their
construction. Henry, who had an interest in astronomy, named his
range the Orion. Hundreds survive to this day, a testament to their
quality. It was expected of Jack Shacklock that he would join the
family firm. He was apprenticed to Andersons Ltd, a Christchurch
engineering firm, before moving to a fulltime career in Dunedin.
From 1951 to 1971, he was its managing director when the company
linked with Fisher and Paykel. Engineeering skills, not just
ironmoulding, had become the order of the day, and Shacklock himself
was in the thick of it. Shacklock was
retained by Fisher and Paykel in an exports role in London. Jack
Shacklock and his wife Lindsay later moved to Nelson, where he was
able to indulge his passion for car restoration and boating (he was
a founder of the Tasman Cruising Club). He moved to Greytown in
1991, and later to Masterton. (Source: Cenotaph) Frank Shacklock with three children to care
