The second half of this year has flashed past as we celebrated with the rest of New Zealand, the All Black’s campaign and hard fought victory. With a fair amount of relief we can relax for another four years and spend the run up to Christmas focusing on those things that have been missed or ignored like what’s happening in the global economy, the election and how that might impact on our business. I’m not sure if we can have much influence on any of these things apart from how we position our business for what is going to be another tough year in 2012.

But with Summer on its way most people I speak to are looking forward to relaxing after what has been an incredibly busy and in a lot of cases stressful year. Our newsletter features the
years highlights from our branches around the country including some big changes to our China
Office. There’s some insight into our supply partner strategy and a sneak preview of our 2012
website and the benefits it will provide.

Enjoy your Christmas with friends and family and have a safe and relaxing holiday.

Thanks for your support this year and we look forward to catching up with you in 2012.

Kind regards,

Shaun Williams
General Manager
