Accession/Series
Description
This series consists of copies of Arrowhead, a company magazine first published in October 1954, with the expressed intent of being first and foremost a staff magazine. Arrowhead was produced until the final issue in Spring 1980.

In 1954 Fletcher Holdings Ltd was an organisation with a core business of construction and manufacturing, forestry and wood. The company was involved in many new industries in New Zealand, including particle board, ready-mix concrete, linseed and rapeseed oil exraction, long-run roofing, wire-drawing and galvanizing. Fletcher Holdings was involved in the establishment of the Tasman Pulp & Paper Company in 1954, and in the opening of New Zealand's first major steel mill, Pacific Steel, which was opened in 1962.

The magazines reflected the diverse activities of the group and the content included photographs of the company's activities including construction and civil engineering projects, forestry and timber milling, residential development, and the manufacturing and distribution of building products.
