I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
This week I had lunch-dinner-breakfast-lunch with the UK Beachhead advisory board. The UK beachhead program was put together by New Zealand Trade & Enterprise and is made up of a number of very senior expats and NZ supporters who are very connected in the UK.
I was stunned by the calibre of the people on the board. We had the COO of Intellect (UK Industry Association), Deputy Chairman of Lloyd’s, A senior Merrill Lynch manager, A senior UK govt adviser and several more similarly senior people in our offices understanding what we’re doing.
This is another fantastic example of how NZTE can provide invaluable assistance. Never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined having so much time with such senior UK players in our Wellington office. Their contacts will be invaluable.
