Posted by rod@drury.net.nz in TechBiz at 2:23 pm on Tuesday, 5 June 2007

Big day here today as Xero lists on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. We trade under XRO.

Here’s some of our team outside the NZX just before market opening at 11.

Xero outside NZX

A bit on ASB Business this morning as well.

Thank you to our 1167 new shareholders for supporting us. It is a big responsibility but we’re both confident and excited about the journey ahead.

    You have a lot of skeptics…but I’m not one of them. I hope to see this company grow to be world beater.

    As Salesforce.com says - Just say no to software!

    Congratulations, Rod. A huge milestone to pass, for Xero and NZX. Now I just sit back and watch you make me rich!?!

    Back in New Zealand…

    I’ve just arrived back in NZ, after a somewhat longer-than-intended business trip to Britain and France. Three business-related news items caught my attention on my return, 2 positive and 1 irritating:

    Today Xero listed on the NZX, having raise…

    What are they doing on the street. They should be at their desks working hard for us.

    Attn all shareholders,

    Don’t forget we can do our part by “encouraging” our own Chartered Beanies to work in with Xero. Let’s help spread the good word.
