31 32 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 4, ISSUE 10 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 4, ISSUE 10 L loyd Logging was brought to life by Director Isaac Lloyd in November of 2017. Situated in Kaitaia, known as the gateway to the Far North. Kaitaia means ‘ample food’, and with a population of just over six thousand, is the last major town before the northernmost tip of New Zealand. Lloyd Logging is part of a rich forestry industry in the area, working primarily in Summit Forest. Isaac himself grew up in the area. He begins, “I started my career working as a local logging contractor. Fast forward to 2017, I was approached by Summit Forest to start a business as one of their forestry partners, following talks with our local Māori tribe. Having been raised here, my name was thrown into the conversation, and the rest is history. Alongside Summit Forests, we also work for New Zealand Forestry and New Zealand Forest Products.” They were the ones that helped us get in the door, and they backed us while we got situated. As a young businessman, I was and still am very grateful for their support.” LLOYD LOGGING K A I T A I A ’ S F O R E S T R Y S P E C I A L I S T S AT A GLANCE LLOYD LOGGING WHAT: Provider of forestry and silviculture services for forests in Far North Kaitaia WHERE: Lloyd Logging is headquartered in Kaitaia, New Zealand WEBSITE: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069717126399
