NZB Opens New Asia Office
30 March 2009
New Zealand Bloodstock has announced the opening of a new office in Asia - New Zealand Bloodstock Asia - to be headed up by respected New Zealand Bloodstock representative, Michael Kneebone.
Based in Singapore, Michael will provide New Zealand Bloodstock's full range of bloodstock services into the region.
New Zealand Bloodstock Managing Director Petrea Vela says the appointment reflects the company's commitment to its client base throughout Asia.
"Michael's role will be largely two-fold: to provide a dedicated service to our existing clients throughout Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea and further afield, and develop those valuable relationships, while exploring new markets and opportunities.
"Michael is already held in extremely high regard in Asia and has built up a great network of clients over the years he has been visiting the region with NZB. We're very fortunate to have someone with his knowledge and reputation willing to take on this new venture and we're very excited about providing a highly-regarded and mutually beneficial service for our vendors and clients."
Currently Private Sales Manager and Auctioneer, Michael Kneebone has been with New Zealand Bloodstock for the past 12 years. He will be operating from his new Singapore base from June.
Michael's relocation will mean some changes to New Zealand breeders' regional representatives which will be advised in due course.
