Rugby fans still recall the trademark Tim Horan look of unstoppable determination that promised an imminent try. His electric speed, strength and dynamism are mirrored in the mental strength and speed with which he thinks about whatever lies ahead of him.

Tim has taken a similar determination to his post-Rugby career as business development manager with property-based investment fund manager, Meridian. He is a rugby presenter and his record of success in two World Cup and four Bledisloe Cup teams helped cement his induction into the International Rugby Hall of Fame in 2003.

Away from the office, Tim Horan is an ambassador for Spinal Injuries Australia and Aunties and Uncles.
