Cut with care
OPINION: The new government has clearly signalled big cuts across the public service.
Woolgrowers have almost unanimously voted in favour of the proposed merger of Wools of NZ (WNZ) and Primary Wool Co-operative- owned CP Wool (CPW).
Wools of New Zealand plans to offer more shares to growers who have been supporting the Wool Market Development Commitment (WMDC).
The last year has been “one of the most challenging for the New Zealand strong wool industry”, according to Wools of NZ’s latest annual report.

Wools of NZ (WNZ) hopes to determine by March next year the commercial viability of new technologies for improved whiteness and dyeing of strong wool, says chief executive Rosstan Mazey.
Rosstan Mazey, global marketing manager at Turners & Growers, will take the reins as Wools of NZ chief executive next month.
