Andrew Burnett was a Scottish immigrant to New Zealand in 1861 and a notable pioneer in New Zealand's history of Mount Cook Station. He bought a house in Timaru around 1876 where the family lived while the children were schooled and later the house on Perth Street was donated to the South Canterbury Historical Society.
The Timaru Tannery was short-lived. It floated on 19 March 1890, and went into liquidation on 22 December 1890 and wound up by March 1892.
Together with research on both companies and Andrew Burnett.
