LIANZA

The LIANZA National office has moved to fantastic new premises on Victoria Street, Wellington with APLM and the NZ Book Council. The Boulcott Street lease expired in early June and as the offices no longer met our needs, we had to find new premises. The office space although smaller has much more usable space.  It is very light and airy.  We are completely open plan so this will help to further develop relationships with our co-tenants.  Staff are thrilled with their new environment and we are now happily unpacked and settled in.

The move was a big undertaking.  All staff did their bit over several weeks leading up to the move - but a big thanks to Anna O’Keeffe who had the prime responsibility for archiving a lot of documentation.  In her usual manner she was organised well in advance, making the final packing up less daunting for the rest of us.

Check out some of the photos from the big move!
