THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT: A South Port in a storm
Paul McBeth and Oliver Mander opine on marketland.
The Bottom Line’s Paul McBeth and New Zealand Shareholders’ Association chief executive Oliver Mander try their hands at this podcast thing with The Long and the Short of It, where they discuss the latest goings-on in marketland.
This week, Oliver looks at South Port New Zealand’s ongoing success in flying below the radar as the maritime hub’s chief executive Nigel Gear prepares to depart in 2026, and considers the ongoing issues the nation’s had in trying to coordinate some of those vital supply chains.
He also talks up the local investor community’s ability to provide capital to those early-stage firms enamoured by tapping money abroad and has an eye on Parrotdog’s debut on the Catalist platform. Plus, a win for the media industry in crisis as the National Business Review stared down some reticent corporates who preferred not to pay for every user logging into the storied publication.
Paul seems to think everything is great and glorious.
