Michael Williment (25 February 1940 – 5 September 1994) was a New Zealand rugby union and cricket player, and co-founder of sports tour company Williment World Travel.

Rugby union[edit]

Afullback, Williment represented Wellington at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, from 1964 to 1967. He played nine matches for the All Blacks, all of them internationals.[2]

Cricket[edit]

Williment was also a promising cricketer. A right-arm medium-fast bowler and right-handed lower-order batsman, he played for the Wellington under-20 side in the 1958–59 and 1959-60 seasons.[1]

Personal and business life[edit]

Williment married Rosemary Leonora Frances Ellis, the daughter of Cyclax (New Zealand) general manager John Clifford Gwynne Ellis, and together the couple established Williment World Travel, a sports tour company, in 1968.[3][4] Williment died from cancer in Wellington in 1994,[2][3] and was buried at Taitā Lawn Cemetery.[5] Rosemary Williment continued to run the travel business until 2001, when she sold the company to senior management. She had remarried lawyer Warren Allen in 1998, and died in 2012.[3]
