Daffodil Day fundraiser at ANZ Morrinsville
A fundraising initiative, backed by local businesses, has been organised at ANZ Morrinsville branch to raise funds for the Cancer Society.
ANZ says it is ready to support its customers impacted by the recent severe weather on the East Coast.
“It’s been a tough few days for those impacted by the severe weather events, our thoughts are with those dealing with damage and destruction to the community and their businesses, and their family homes,” says Lorraine Mapu, ANZ managing director of business and agri.
“We want to reassure our business, farming and personal customers the bank is here to work with them in the days and months ahead,” Mapu told Rural News.
Targeted assistance is available for business and farming customers such as temporary overdraft facilities and the ability to defer loan repayments or move to interest only to help ease some financial pressure.
“Our team are reaching out to farmers and our small and medium-sized business customers to see what else is needed,” Mapu says.
“We encourage personal and home loan customers to talk to us if they need to relieve pressure on their financial situation,” she says. “There may be a range of ways we could help, such as restructuring their home loan repayments or providing access to an overdraft facility.”
Business and Agri customers should speak to their relationship manager to discuss the impact on their business and their funding requirements.
All other ANZ customers should call 0800 269 296.
Meat co-operative, Alliance has met with a group of farmer shareholders, who oppose the sale of a controlling stake in the co-op to Irish company Dawn Meats.
Rollovers of quad bikes or ATVs towing calf milk trailers have typically prompted a Safety Alert from Safer Farms, the industry-led organisation dedicated to fostering a safer farming culture across New Zealand.
The Government has announced it has invested $8 million in lower methane dairy genetics research.
A group of Kiwi farmers are urging Alliance farmer-shareholders to vote against a deal that would see the red meat co-operative sell approximately $270 million in shares to Ireland's Dawn Meats.
In a few hundred words it's impossible to adequately describe the outstanding contribution that James Brendan Bolger made to New Zealand since he first entered politics in 1972.
Dawn Meats is set to increase its proposed investment in Alliance Group by up to $25 million following stronger than forecast year-end results by Alliance.
