SUCCESS STORIES
How Growth Advisors have helped New Zealand businesses connect and succeed:
Dodson Motorsport
Dodson Motorsport provide quality dual clutch components for high-end and performance vehicles. Now a global-leader, they turned to our Growth Advisors to help connect with local manufacturers and potential distribution partners.
Connections were made with University of Auckland, Massey University and AUT to find research partners and source skilled staff. And to help expand their R&D and developing lean manufacturing we introduced them to Callaghan Innovation. We also advised them to contact New Zealand Trade and Enterprise to explore potential ways to expand their global reach.
Culley's
The growth of Culley's from local producer to budding global entrepreneur has happened fast. The rapid expansion of the hot-sauce brand began when a Growth Advisor connected Chris with business capability development support for his marketing. After that, they connected him to the renowned food production facilities at The FoodBowl. Pretty soon Chris was quitting his IT day job, selling Culley’s sauces through supermarkets, and ramping up his business to take on the world.
Zeffer
Zeffer is New Zealand's biggest independent cidery. Our Growth Advisor helped Zeffer connect to business capability development support around capital raising, business strategy, and domestic brand strategy. They also provided connections to NZTE for support around exports and targeting key Asian markets. Zeffer has taken on-board all the advice, and increased production to 500,000 litres of cider (in 2017) – a far cry from the initial production of 3,000 litres for the Matakana Farmers' Market in 2009.
"You build strong relationships with your Growth Advisor," says Zeffer's Director, Josh Townsend. "They're upfront about the areas you can improve in. That’s important."
