Looking beyond the immediate need

A couple of dairy farmers in the Wairarapa needed funding to purchase a new irrigation system. Their Agribusiness Manager called in one of our Treasury Specialists to review their plans and opportunities. Looking beyond their immediate need, he designed a unique loan to save them thousands over the following years.

Turning problems into opportunities

The Campbells have gone from being waged dairy farm workers to business and property owners with equity in excess of $3 million. All thanks to a bit of initiative, a BNZ Agribusiness Manager who decided that no challenge was too hard, and some guided strategic planning.

Improving the perfect plan

Buying land near Queenstown might seem like an ambitious goal for some. However, after reviewing the investment and development potential with their BNZ Agribusiness Manager, it turned out to be the path to debt-free home ownership for the Murphys.

Creating bold ideas for succession planning

Succession planning is often a tricky area for family businesses. Just take the Browns, who didn’t see how they could cut their ties and retire, but still keep the dairy farming tradition in the family. With the help of our Farm First Growth Programme, they found another option that benefited the entire family.
