GENERAL: NZX: NZX Agri launches Global HQ expansion
7 December 2012 - NZX Agri today launched its expanded Global HQ at Feilding,
representing a strategic investment by the company, and supporting a new
digital publishing platform and several recent staff hires.
Manawatu District Council Mayor Margaret Kouvelis will officially open the
NZX Agri Global HQ at the company's expanded Feilding office complex at 3pm
today. More than 100 representatives from local and national agribusinesses
are expected to attend.
Head of NZX Agri Tony Leggett said the rural service township of Feilding was
the ideal location for the business's Global HQ and its team, who include the
most awarded agri-sector journalists in the country.
Mr Leggett commented: "Advancing New Zealand is one of NZX's core values so
it's fitting that our Agri business is headquartered in the heartland of the
country.
"Feilding is home to one of the country's largest turnover sale yard
complexes, and surrounded by a diverse range of farming and farm service
enterprises.
"In addition, the proximity of Feilding to Massey University, with its array
of agricultural research centres and agribusiness, is also a major drawcard,"
he said.
NZX Agri's market leading publications - including Farmers Weekly and The NZ
Dairy Exporter - and its data analysis products, are read widely by a global
audience.
Today's opening follows the launch earlier this week of NZX Agri's news
website, FWplus.co.nz, and the announcement of further plans to increase its
digital offering.
NZX Agri has a full time staff of 42, including 11 regional based journalists
and advertising staff in Dunedin, Christchurch, Tauranga and Auckland.
