David Douglas, WRO’s chairman, said the group’s objective of ensuring the value of Wools of New Zealand was preserved for the benefit of the New Zealand wool sector has been realized. “The sale is a pleasing outcome to the ‘caretaker’ role that we have been performing over the last two years.” For more, visit www.fernmark.com. |
