Some might find this interesting - the article mentions other important figures of the day, like Ralph Slade (chief engineer at Philips for a long time, and production controller for radio factories during WW2) and Percy C. Collier of Collier & Beale fame.
Most might remember the DB Export advert that painted him as a forward-thinking man-of-the-people type who started a brewery to take on the government and made cheaper beer for the working man - a cute story, but probably not a whole lot of fact in it (his dad owned a brewery)... but hey, it was a cool advert (its on YouTube if you look around for it).
But here is the story of the station as told in the NZ Radio Times in 1936
