Textiles NewZ - December 2011
Christmas already!
I don't imagine I'm the only one who is looking at the calendar and saying, "Is it Christmas already?" December has rolled around so quickly! 2011 has been a challenging year, the NZD has taken a few knocks and overall our sector has taken strain. We have yet to hear any confident comment from the economists as to where we are headed over the next quarter, however general sentiment has most looking to better economic times in 2012.
TNZ Strategy
At TNZ, following the Symposium and AGM in November, we are reviewing our strategy with a workshop for the Board on 31stJanuary. Should you wish to provide any comment and or any input, please don’t hesitate to contact either myself or one of our Board Members. Discussion will focus on the role TNZ is to play within the sector and what we are to deliver to our members.
