But I think the world’s changing now, and people realise the reach that they can get online, as well as the minimal investment required to operate in that way.” Shipleys looks towards the future with a positive heart. They are proud to lead the way in technology integration and services for events and workplaces throughout New Zealand, and excited to keep providing their valued customers with complete audio-visual services across the board in South Island and beyond.
