Malcolm Macleod

Malcolm started work as an Apprenticeship Chef when he was 15 years of age. Over the next 10 years he worked as a Chef in both New Zealand and Australia. He returned to New Zealand in 1980 as Head Chef for the Southern Cross Hotel.

In the early 1980s he changed direction and moved into sales, joining Read Motors in Dunedin as a car salesman. In 1983 he started “on the road” travelling to Invercargill and Central Otago for a hardware company and later with Norton NZ Ltd. He established his own company, M J Macleod Agencies in early 1990 selling for many leading national distributors.

In February 1995, Malcolm was diagnosed with sleepapnoea and ever since has had a passionate interest in this sleep problem. He has talked to many people about his experience and this interest culminated in setting up Sleepapnoea Services Limited in 2002 to supply CPAP equipment.

Malcolm’s knowledge of sleepapnoea is an accumulation of personal experience in managing his own health, involvement in development of new equipment with manufacturers, taking part in scientific studies with health professionals and daily involvement with users of CPAP and other sleep equipment. He shares this wealth of experience generously with all and anyone who shows an interest in the disease is welcome to contact him.

In the last 12 months Malcolm has served on the executive of the Sleep Apnoea Association of New Zealand and is currently serving as interim President until November.

Malcolm leads an active life centred around his lifestyle property on the Taieri and in Motorsport where he serves as an official and competes in his latest project a Mini Cooper S. He races this classic saloon as opportunities present and so far has raced in 2 meetings in Timaru so far this year.

This reflects his philosophy that you live with sleepapnoea and not to allow it to dominate your life.
