It was terrific to have Wedderspoon Senior Supply Chain Manager Timothy J Kotzen in Christchurch meeting with suppliers and partners to this iconic manuka honey business this week. Tim has been with Wedderspoon for around five years and this was his first visit from the United States to New Zealand. His energy and passion for Wedderspoon, which is North America’s largest supplier of manuka honey products, rubs off on all those around him. That’s Tim in the centre of the picture with some of the team from Heathstock Apiaries, which is a world class business, long-time supplier and friend to Wedderspoon. Florenz bought Wedderspoon from North American private equity owners in July. We have loved returning the company to its Kiwi roots and having it in our stable of New Zealand-based health and wellness businesses. Tim and his team do an incredible job for us in North America where Wedderspoon has more than 70,000 points of distribution for products ranging from manuka honey to lozenges, drops, pops and propolis sprays. The firm is also one of the biggest Manuka honey product sellers on Amazon. It’s little wonder that several thousand people have applied for sales and marketing roles in the past few months as we seek to grow this iconic business. #Leadership #Manuka #Honey #SupplyChain #Customer
