PASTURE preparation ADVERTORIAL
New premises for growing business
For Specialty Seeds, an organisation that prides itself on constantly evolving to meet the needs of its clients, the decision to shift to the Izone Industrial Park in Rolleston was a straightforward one to reach. In fact the timing couldn’t have been better — with traffic issues, poor access and a lack of space at their former site making a move the obvious ‘next step’ in the ongoing development of this independently-owned company. “As our business grew we ran into several problems with our old facilities”, says Managing Director Stephen Finch. “It was difficult for large trucks to access the site,
International Airport and the Port of Lyttelton, and has been designed to accommodate a high volume of heavy vehicles.” The move presented this pro-active organisation with the perfect opportunity to review their entire operation, and the new facilities are a reflection of that process. “We put the whole business under the microscope”, continues Finch. “We’ve not only doubled our potential
while ongoing roadworks around the city often made it hard to reach us. And then there was the issue of space — we were, quite simply, running out of room.” Those challenges cease to exist at Izone, a 180-hectare business hub located just eight minutes from the Hornby industrial area. “It’s closer to our clients, and easier to get to”, says Finch. “It’s also an easy drive to both the Christchurch
output and drastically increased our usable space, we’ve also improved our communications system, investing significantly in new technology which will
enhance efficiency and enable us to provide even better customer service.” To celebrate their move to 10 Centrum Lane, Rolleston, Specialty Seeds are running
a fantastic competition, with everyone who places an order during September going into the draw to win one of three premium imported chilly bins.
