ANZ Migrant Expo: The Juxtapose of Communities and Businesses
ANZ Migrant Expo 2015, was held at Queens Wharf on Saturday, 5 September. The event is held every year for assisting migrants to help settle down in the country. The Expo in its 3rd year, showcased over 100 businesses which had set up their stalls and had over of 10,000 visitors for the day.
The expo was inaugurated by Minister of Ethnic Communities, Minister of Corrections and National MP, Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga, GM and Retail & Business Banking of ANZ Bank, Andrew Webster. National List MP Dr Parmjeet Parmar and Dr Jian Yang were amongst the dignitaries present at the event.
The popularity of the Migrant Expo has grown exponentially in the last three years with the number of exhibitors and people attending the event increasing every year. A visually elated at the number of people attending the event, GM of ANZ bank, Andrew Webster said,“ANZ has a dedicated staff that looks after the needs of the migrants in this country for setting up businesses, their banking needs, buying properties, in short settling down in this beautiful country.”
The expo has been instrumental in bringing different Asian communities together under one roof. It has also enabled in identifying one another’s financial needs and has been an opportunity to tap unopened doors for future business growths between the Asian companies within New Zealand.
“I think it’s a great platform for both old and new migrants to come together and connect with different communities and business here. I actually commend ANZ for organising such a huge event and I think it’s a great opportunity for all of us here.” added National List MP Dr Parmjeet Parmar.
MP Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga said, “Business is a platform where are people can show creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation and I think those are the areas where the migrant communities contribute to the social and cultural and political fabric of Aoteora New Zealand” .
Seminars on topics ranging from family trust in Mandarin to information on businesses and new tax laws were given by speakers from ANZ and other experts from the industry. The rules and regulations for starting business were discussed in length to make easier for people wanting to set up their own businesses. Seminars on the Forex services provided by ANZ bank to the businesses and the new taxing rule for the property garnered big audiences.
The expo housed stalls from Southren Institute of technology, Ray White and Bayleys, NZCT Investments Ltd, Lil Champs Child care centre, Chamber of Commerce, Inland Revenue Department, Milan Event Organisers, IT service providers, Huawei Techonologies, New Zealand Indian Central Association, South Africa NZ Live Radio etc.
