Westland Milk reports positive season
"I'm more positive now than I was two or three months ago." That's the view of Richard Wyeth, chief executive of Hokitika-based Westland Milk Products (WMP).

The taxpayer-funded loan will help Westland construct $22m plant for specialty products.
One prominent finance commentator says the deal smells bad and wants more details to be made public. He tweeted “Looks like the taxpayer is now a bank.”
