Export Breakfast: Connecting Canterbury to the World
This event has passed.
Canterbury exporters are facing a fast-changing global environment – rising freight costs, shifting regulations, global tensions, and customers who expect more, quicker than ever.
Come along to our breakfast event where we’re bringing together exporters, supply chain and trade experts to chat about:
- Getting Connected Globally – What’s working, what’s changing, and how to stay flexible.
- Building a Resilient Supply Chain – Real-world tips for improving logistics, warehousing, and delivery.
- South Island Exporters: Challenges & Wins – Hear from others in the game about how they’re adapting and succeeding.
We’ll be joined by:
- Anne Dunne, General Manager Cargo at Air New Zealand – a seasoned leader in supply chain and procurement.
- David Boyd, ExportNZ Chair and Co-Founder / Director of Foot Science International – experienced director specialising in manufacturing, consumer products, with a focus on international markets and international branding. David will offer a broad perspective on the international market landscape, drawing from his role at ExportNZ and his hands-on experience with Foot Science International.
- Tony Gault, Director of Kelford Cams, world-leading manufacturer and exporter of precision-engineered components into a diverse range of off-shore markets. Tony will disucss how they operate in different markets—Australia, USA, UK/EU, Gulf Countries, and the Rest of the World — and how they tailor their approach since each one varies in maturity and market dynamics.
