Trimax Calling

A great write-up in last night's Bay of Plenty Times about Trimax Mowing Systems, and its MD, Bob Sievwright.

I have heard Bob's story before. Basically, he is a serial exporter, spending perhaps half the year offshore. He is a great example of what can be achieved from Tauranga. His mowers can be seen around parks and sports fields in both the UK and the US.

Trimax are also a client member of the NZTE Beachhead program. They have clearly benefited from its support, particularly in the North American market.

Bob Sievwright's commitment to building offshore markets was recognised last Friday night when he picked up the 'Services to Export Award' at the Bay of Plenty's Bank of New Zealand sponsored gala dinner. Not that he could pick up the award personally. He was offshore doing what he does best.
