The expansion is all about making better use of the upper North Island's three ports, and allowing the comparatively young Northport to grow. What do you think?

“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy
