Celebrating 10 Years of Leading Edge - Leading Edge

This year we celebrate the 10-year mark for our award winning workplace, Leading Edge!

We are thrilled to have reached this milestone and look back at all we have accomplished in a short decade. In the next quarter we will celebrate our 10th year birthday at our national Leading Edge Sales Conference & Awards evening.

So the 10 year mark has arrived and to be honest, we are all surprised it has happened so fast. The old adage of time flying when you’re having fun is certainly relevant here.

In 2004, Leading Edge was brought into New Zealand to take on a number of Telecom retail stores and business centres as Telecom underwent changes to their structure. With a rapid growth strategy, and a whole bunch of investments, we increased our New Zealand footprint by 10 more company-owned retail stores and 24 independently-owned stores that we partnered with. This in turn saw the support team for the business grow and strengthen.

Since then, the past 10 years have seen a number of moves, changes and growth. We moved our head office to North Shore (Auckland) last year, finally bringing together our Support Team and the Auckland Corporate Team under one roof. We won the Most Improved Workplace in New Zealand in the Kenexa Best Workplaces in 2013. We re-aligned our business, working towards creating a leading Sales Channel Management business, and one of the results is that we became Gen-i’s sole dealer in New Zealand. We partnered with three new brands – Genesis Energy, n3 (Business Buying Power) and Unified Business Solutions – to support and deliver outstanding sales growth.

We anticipate the coming years to be just as successful with the development of our partnerships with n3 and Genesis Energy as well as the continuing partnership with Telecom and Gen-i. We are also striving ahead to be the Best Place to Work in New Zealand!

So join me in congratulating Leading Edge on its 10 years so far as we wish our company another happy 10.
