Alastair Ferguson

Entrepreneur, Mentor and Salesperson Extraordinaire.

Has successfully turned his hand to several businesses. Alastair’s down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach stems from his dairy farming background. After his daughter’s serious illness, Alistair re-assessed his life, wrote a book and set up “Stand Up and Shout Ltd” which is his vehicle to inspire people to achieve their dreams. 

Alastair’s down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach stems from his dairy farming background. This experience enabled him to become a rising star at Alfa Laval, a leading global provider of fluid handling equipment and a major player in New Zealand’s dairy industry. Alastair joined Alfa Laval as an Area Sales Manager based in Hamilton and in less than five years had been promoted to International Service Manager based in Sweden. Home and an entrepreneurial calling beckoned, so Alastair returned to New Zealand to pursue business opportunities. He successfully turned his hand to several businesses:

1.  Food distribution – grew the turnover of a Cookie Time franchise distribution business by 321% in just two years.
2.  Business planning – Built up a consulting business that successfully developed, facilitated and implemented strategic and operational business plans and performance management processes. Clients included Professionals Real Estate Group, Freightways, NZ Couriers, Dominion Constructors, Trethewey Granite & Marble. · Business coach and mentor – formed Solutions Unlimited Ltd to work with business owners and senior managers, developing personal development programmes and providing coaching and mentoring services.
3.  Stand Up and Shout Ltd - a company that inspired and motivated people to turn their dreams into reality. The company published "Stand Up and Shout - Kiwi Success Unplugged" - a book of interviews with successful Kiwi icons such as Rob Hamill, Diane Forman, Michael Bolgaris and Peter Leitch.

These days, Alastair is a successful real estate salesperson in the Waikato.
