The Icehouse and Vodafone New Zealand partner to champion New Zealand SMEs.

The Icehouse and Vodafone New Zealand (soon to be One New Zealand) have renewed their commitment to work together to boost SMEs in New Zealand, which started back in 2018.

The two organisations remain steadfast in their goal to back the SME market, and the owner managers and leaders who run them, with the support they need to unleash the country’s economic potential.

To celebrate the partnership, and at various events held throughout 2023, speakers from both Vodafone New Zealand (which is changing to One New Zealand in early 2023) and The Icehouse will be addressing and fostering conversations around subjects important to business owners. They will also be working together to get the ‘temperature’ of the SME nation, through the business health check tool, Centigrade. This tool helps SMEs get an understanding of what they need to work on to improve their business, where to get help to fix these issues, and benchmarks them against similar businesses in New Zealand.

Lindsay Zwart, Chief Enterprise Officer at Vodafone New Zealand says ‘Vodafone is a Kiwi company supporting to connect and innovate our Kiwi businesses, in New Zealand for New Zealanders. So it makes sense for us to align our partnership with Icehouse who are the engine room for developing and helping to innovate with SME businesses. Together we can power innovation into businesses in New Zealand!’

Special offers for both Vodafone New Zealand and The Icehouse customers will also be announced in early 2023.

Together, The Icehouse and Vodafone New Zealand will drive ‘New Zealand Inc.’ - supporting business owners by providing them with the skills, clarity and support they need to achieve their business goals and thrive.
