| 1317305 | 2012-12-10 00:05:00 | I have always thought that there is little difference between Noel Leeming and Bond and Bond. They used to be side by side in Invercargill. Now they have moved to new sites which are close to each other. NL does give Flybuys. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1317306 | 2012-12-10 00:18:00 | NL and BanB are the same company. Warehouse have them both now.... And what's wrong with that? So Warehouse want to be more upmarket, so said the new CEO. As for NL and BandB, so they sell appliances, where do you guys buy your washing machines and fridges then? Harvey Normans? Same products..... |

| 1317307 | 2012-12-10 00:29:00 | But 95% of their products are made in China... Most consumer products in the world are made in China. My point is that any profits will go to a New Zealand company They will employ New Zealand managers They will probably use New Zealand companies to do their advertising and promotion If they give any money to charity it will go to New Zealand charities. Every country needs to keep its overseas funds, otherwise we will end up like Greece, being told what to do by the IMF etc. |

And by New Zealand managers you mean Chinese immigrants? :lol: Nah I get what you mean though. I guess it's a bit better than having the whole thing owned by an offshore company. |

They will also have a New Zealand head office that will rent office space and need cleaners etc. |

| 1317312 | 2012-12-10 06:16:00 | So now we can expect the Warehouses Transonic rubbish in Bond & Bond and Noel Leeming stores as well. If they exploit their size to bring us quality products at a good price, then great. But the example from TWH so far is to bring us electronic garbage that isn't even fit for sale. |

| 1317313 | 2012-12-10 06:41:00 | No. They are going to let NL run under its own identity, with the same NL management. The same as The Warehouse which will run under its own identity as well by The Warehouse management. :) |

| 1317314 | 2012-12-10 09:16:00 | Will NL's complaints dept continue to generate more complaints than they tackle? Let's leave resolving complaints until April 1. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
