NZ Compare recognised for excellence in the Westpac Auckland Business Awards
NZ Compare were delighted to be shortlisted as Finalists in an amazing 3 categories for the Westpac Auckland Business Awards 2019. NZ Compare were shortlisted for:
- Best Emerging Business
- Excellence in Customer Service Delivery
- Excellence in Strategy and Planning
Established in 2016, NZ Compare was created from the belief that the process of researching broadband providers, power
companies and financial products can be too difficult, time consuming and confusing. They are the power behind
comparison sites like Broadband Compare, Power Compare and Money Compare.
"We were inspired to create NZ Compare to create a fair, informative and helpful solution for New Zealanders who were
struggling to understand which company offered the best product and service," says Gavin Male, CEO and Co-founder of NZ
Compare. "We work in partnership with NZ service providers to offer our customers a comprehensive choice of plans that
they can compare side-by-side to make an informed choice about which is best for them. "
NZ Compare believe that fair, easy-to-use comparison services should be available to everyone to help them make fully
informed choices when choosing broadband, power, financial services and more.
Male says "Planning and strategy have been the foundation of our phenomenal growth to date. In 2018, a record 900,000
New Zealanders used our suite of websites to inform their decisions when buying broadband, power, and financial
services. We look set to break the million mark in 2019! Our remarkable growth to-date show the value we deliver to the
New Zealand public."
Being shortlisted in the Excellence in Customer Delivery category, was a high point, as this has been a particular area
of development and investment for NZ Compare. In today’s marketplace with new technologies and more choices than ever,
it can be hard to keep pace. Developing an optimal customer delivery model both on and off-line has been a priority in
2019.
Male says, "We continue to put significant resource into making sure that it’s as easy as possible to compare plans and
switch online. We have also developed a specialised Customer Support team to help customers the ‘old fashioned’ way over
the phone. Our team members specialise in understanding individual needs, and help customers overcome choice paralysis
by guiding them through the process of choosing and signing up for a new plan."
NZ Compare was among a number of companies that were recognised for their business excellence at a special evening
organised at the Okahu Event Centre by the Auckland Chambers of Commerce. The function was well attended by entrants
from a wide variety of businesses. Winners will be announced at a gala evening on 31 October at The Cordis Hotel in
Central Auckland.
