We had an amazing time hosting our buying agents, Kazuaki Arai from Nagoya, Japan, and Akio Shimura from OSL, Cebu, Philippines, over the weekend!
Our General Manager, Ben Brownie, gave them an epic tour around the region, filled with adventure and fun.
Ben took them fishing at the Anatoki Salmon Farm in Takaka, catching some delicious salmon and enjoying the serene beauty of the surroundings. They ventured to Pupu Springs, marveling at the crystal-clear waters and lush greenery, and explored Wharariki Beach, with its golden sands and iconic rugged cliffs. Then, they set sail on a boat for some more fishing and soaking in the stunning views!
We appreciate the work and service Kazu and Akio put in for us in Japan at IBC, and are so grateful to have the relationship with them that we do. It was a pleasure to have them here on our side of the world!
We had an incredible weekend filled with laughter, exploration, and unforgettable experiences. Here's to many more adventures together!
