Paul Davidson, Multicultural Centre Manager – Sarah Wheldale, Tettra (Cambodia) and Eufrasia (Brazil), while shooting the modern migrant interviews for the video “Making Marlborough – the immigrant story” 2022.  

Imagine Marlborough today without the influence of:
• The English, Scottish and European farmers who built our agricultural industry;
• Italian whalers, fishermen and chefs – names like Perano, Dalliessi, Rocco and others;
• Wynen, Brownlee, Redwood, Dillon and the pioneers who developed the region;
• Lebanese, Croatian and Irish winemakers who saw great potential here;
• Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Swiss, Middle Eastern and South American cuisine;
• The energy of the Dutch and European migrants who came after the turmoil of two World Wars;
• The diverse engineers, seamen and aviators who connected Marlborough by land, sea and air;
• The visionary people from afar – Ernie Hunter, Ivan Yukich, Daniel Le Brun, Almuth Lorenz, Edel Everling and others who built a world-famous wine region;
• The more recent newcomers from migration and seeking refuge.
