Christchurch to me is the starting point for expeditions. It’s got so much cultural heritage around exploration, and personally I resonated with that.

It is great to be back in the heart of the CBD where everything is happening. Christchurch before the earthquakes was a place where a lot of business happened by bumping into people in the CBD – and it is fantastic to see that things have returned to that ‘old normal’. We love it here!

We’ve got great graduates coming out from computer science and engineering programmes, the airport has international links, and the reality is that being physically closer doesn’t make that much difference anymore.
