New board to promote trade
PA Wellington The chairman of the Market Development Board, I Mr Peter Shirtcliffe, will head the new trade promotion organisation formed by the merger of the board and Tradecom, says the Minister of Overseas Trade and Marketing, Mr Moore.
Mr Shirtcliffe will also chair the new organisation’s establishment board.
Other members of the establishment board would be the Wool Board’s managing director, Mr Bernie Knowles; Acemark Holdings’ managing director, Ms Sue Suckling; and the acting secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry, Mr Ted Woodfield. Mr Moore said the new
body, which is as yet unnamed, would be able to provide a better service to exporters than either the M.D.B. or Tradecom working separately. “The main job of the new organisation will be to encourage and assist New Zealand enterprises to increase their earnings of foreign exchange,” he said. "The excellent market assistance work being done by trade commissioners throughout the world will of course continue.” Mr Moore said the Government had committed the total level of funding how allocated to the M.D.B. and Tradecom independently to the new organisation for each of the next three years.
