Meet the People
A few of the staff from our New Zealand office ...
Mouseover photo or names to zoom
CEO, Main man, king pin.
Our bean counter. Drives a Jaaaaagggggggg. Rides a Harley... Thinks he looks cool (he doesn't!).
We found out she's great with shopping lists and stuff, so we put her in the Accounts Dept.
Checks that Carol puts everything into spreadsheets, and does the math correctly.
Lisa checks that Frances has checked Carols stuff properly... and tells Paul if it's wrong- He usually blows a gasket!
Marketing manager. She's a pocket rocket... but be careful, she punches well above her weight!
Design manager. Branding, packaging, etc. Don't ask her for a run. She faster than a whippet on steroids.
Genna with a "G". She organises our events, displays and tastings. Yum!
Well, somebody had to take the photograph! I'm Paul F. I manage the websites and online stuff.
NZ Sales manager. He keeps the supermarkets happy (and just loves shopping, his wife said)
Leading the charge into our Asian markets.
He's our NZ FoodService manager (looks after chefs, hotels & schools).
Operations manager. She does operations and stuff.
Our Customer Services queen. What can I say? She's a legend around here.
A real smiler. She's very smart and does really hard 'technical' stuff, and invents new products.
Our Nutritionist... and Mia's best friend. She's from China and she's also as smart as!
She works with Mia & Tracy...but she's not as smart as them (I'll probably get a slap for saying that!)
Compliance manager. Ensures we do everything "proper" around the world.
He plans this and that and makes sure that we don't run out of the other.
An eye for quality, regulations & accreditations.
A whizz with export documentation and customs. We imported her from the UK.
Plant manager. He's a big 'oke' from Durban, Sarrfff Effrika (has a weird accent).
Warehouse manager (he's 007 - from Russia with love).
The factory "muscle" and pinup boy (you can tell, hey?). He's from Tonga (it's a place near Switzerland, I think).
He sorts things out in assembly. If something goes wrong, we just blame him!
Stood there sulking about something. Think someone nicked his cricket ball.
But wait, there's more... and not enough space! Maka, Eva, Stephen, Joshua, Siaosi, Sili, Tina, Kisione, Mohammed, Wai, Hilda, Victor, Dave, Faavae, Leo, Fe, Fanga, Naia
I've no idea who these two random guys are. I had my suspicions that they work across the road... THEY DO!
Seems they were just walking past (probably skiving) when I took the photo. Something about a "dare".

Disclaimer:
Wow, did I take bullets because it was a sunny day? People complained about having to face the sun and squint their eyes.... And there's me thinking they all just had weird smiles.
Check out our new Sky TV dish!
I know it's not about the people at EasiYo, sorry ... but I ask you, "Is THAT a satellite dish or what?"Between you and me, I think our CEO has direct comms with the WhiteHouse & NASA.
Factory tour ...
Meet Shane (left), our Albany Plant Manager. Although he speaks with a funny accent (he's from Sarrrff Effrica) he's a great bloke (or should I say 'oke'). He keeps the clockwork running smooth. In the background we have Fe, Sioasi, Fanga and Hilda all carefully pack-wrapping your products.
Reception ...
Meet Angela, our smiling face on reception. (This is such a bad pic. She really does have a body... and a smile!)She loves ballroom dancing. (and she's very good at it too... national champs and all that!)
When you call, it's likely that you will speak with Angela first.
Customer Services ...
Meet "Our Maggie" - our Customer Services Manager. She runs her empire tucked away in our anti-earthquake zone, under the main entrance stairway (I offered her a helmet... she declined - I took a slap for that!)Maggie knows everything about EasiYo products, and she's happiest when helping EasiYo customers from all over the world. Everyone would agree... She's awesome!
Critical Hygiene ...
Meet Faavae and David in their anti-gravity, moon-landing suits. They work in a strange place. Talk about sterile. You can eat your dinner off the floor in there, it's spotless. They're in charge of the mixing machinery and pre-sachet weighing and filling. I think you need a degree in rocket science to work in there. Weird thing is, I see people going in there, but I've NEVER seen anyone coming out!
Warehouse Logistics ...
Meet John and Michelle. (Michelle's the one on the right ;-) John manages warehouse logistics at HQ... I think that means he controls where, when & how things should be... at any given time, yesterday, today or tomorrow. John makes the decisions - Michelle does the work (or something like that).
Production ...
Here's a few ladies from the production team relaxing in our new lunchroom. From left we have Melanie (Germany), Celia (Philippines ), Monique (The Netherlands), Eva (Czech Republic), and Emma (NZ), .... with 'rubberhands' Charard (Maori) jumping in for the photo opportunity (as usual).
Logistics ...
Therese (she sings in a great band) and Sam (from the UK). Sam explaining to Therese that you can send messages to each other using a thing called a computer. Therese seemed impressed.
Forklift wars ...
You think a Porsche 911 turbo is fast? Well, you haven't seen our resident Fork Lift Truckers, have you?They pack 6m ship-containers (without damage) at the speed of light! Meet Auckland based 'Maka' (top) and our Australian based champ 'Lole' (ex-Auckland). Great guys. Great speed. Superb Smiles.
Factory staff ...
We have such a great team at EasiYo. And, did you know we have 37 nationalities working here? Not bad hey? Meet Hilda and Iva. A couple of our long-service Tongan staff members. I'm not sure who the guy is, but he does have a great beard (I think it's David)
