Taranaki RatingsEmployment 59,000Retail Sales $275mHouse Prices $340,000Construction $70m
New Car Sales 959 carsRating
Taranaki is at the bottom of the score board this quarter. This is partly due to the weak oil and dairy sectors. However, there are low interest rates and an
increasing housing market as well as a strong retail sector. Recently there has been an increase in dairy prices so looking hopeful for the future.

“In 1983 hundreds of workers broke a world record by building a 3 bedroom home in just 3 hours. It was later sold to buyers who weren’t told about home’s origin. The
home was an instant nightmare: uneven slab, burst pipes,
flawed roof, mismatched paint,
buckled walls, crooked doors, faulty sewer. ”Source: http://crazyfacts.com/tag/construction/

“Thanks to the Staples Rodway Bookkeeping
service we didn’t need to spend time training staff on
our new (construction based) accounting software and have saved a heap of
money having one less permanent member of
staff. I now spend a lot less time in the office
organising payroll and no longer take my laptop
home with me.” Scott Siffleet - Lifestyle

SCAM HITS BUILDERS INVOICES
In June 2016 a sophisticated hacking scam was discovered targeting the building industry
Builders emails were hacked, and bank accounts on invoices to clients were changed
More than $25,000 was stolen
TIPS TO KEEP BANK ACCOUNTS SAFE1. Don’t give out account details unless the business
you are dealing with is established and trusted 2. Never accept money into your account for
subsequent transfer to others3. Never give out your password4. Check your accounts regularly
to ensure money is going to the right places
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) HELP“If you are emailing somebody about financial matters
involving transferring money, check the arrangements with the person using a means of communication other
than email. We also recommend people avoid using public Wi-Fi, particularly if they have bank account
information in emails, as it isn’t secure and the chance of emails being hacked is higher”
Daniel Klinkenberg
