Manning arrived in Wellington in 1953 to take up the position of Assistant Director (Microbiology) at the National Health Institute.[3] He became Director of the Institute upon the sudden death of Dr James Blakelock in August 1955 and held this position until 1970.[2] Manning started the New Zealand Reference Culture Collection (NZRCC) at the Institute in 1955.[1] This involved establishing and running both the general and reference laboratories for bacteriology and virology with a special interest in antibiotic sensitivity methods and a haemagglutination test for toxoplasmosis.[1] The collection was later designated as the national repository of organisms of national interest. The bacteriologist Sydney Josland worked under the direction of Manning at the Institute. Manning undertook a World Health Organisation Fellowship in 1966 and studied advances in laboratory organisation and methods.[2] Between 1970 and 1982, he was the Consultant Medical Microbiologist at Wellington Hospital.[2] In 1980, he became the first chairman of the Management Committee of the Department of Laboratory Services.[1] Manning was Clinical Lecturer at the Wellington School of Medicine in 1978 and became Clinical Reader in 1982.[2]
