“Vision Manawatu hosted stands at stands at the “Opportunities New Zealand” expos in London and Leeds in April 2008 to represent the Manawatu region and to promote the features and benefits of the Manawatu as a destination to proactive skilled UK migrants and their families.
A major reason for these people planning to immigrate to NZ is family, lifestyle and education and the Manawatu region offers one of the best family, lifestyle and education locations in NZ. Vision Manawatu’s Expos presence was driven by two inter-linked objectives. On the one hand it was recruitment exercise for local businesses that had positions that need to be filled. On the other hand it was a key regional marketing and destination profiling exercise which was vital as pro-active migrants are often more concerned about the “bigger picture” in terms of what the location offers from a quality of life perspective. In terms of profiling the Manawatu region to potential candidates the Expos were seen as a great success. Over 500 candidates and families were engaged with and for the majority it was their first knowledge of the “Manawatu” existing! The Expos were well run by the staff on the ground and we are committed to attending the April Expos year-in year-out.”
