OUR MISSION
PBBNZ leads the way in providing innovative livestock services.
OUR CORE VALUES
ARE:
PBBNZ Ltd is a one of a kind business model, both domestically and possibly globally.
The business was borne out of a pioneering co-operative venture by the NZ Hereford
Association and Angus New Zealand who, together, formulated a plan to join forces and
remove the duplication of services both breeds needed.
The establishment, formalized in 1996 provided the mechanism for the Angus and Hereford
breeds to collectively own a service that would provide administrative and technology
services to its combined membership.
Importantly it also provides a unified voice for the beef industry.
It was a ground-breaking collaboration by the two breeds with Hereford breeder Richard
Barnett and Angus breeder Peter Matthews spear-heading the concept and overseeing
the development of the business – both men recognizing that different beef breeds weren’t
necessarily the opposition.
The two breeds initially met in Wellington where they decided on the spot they could work
together. Richard recalls it was a two year process working through everything to eventually
forming a limited company (such admin, accounting and registry).
Peter and Richard methodically worked through the synergies they could see and a lot of
what they identified was the core of providing recording services for the stud industry.
Both breeds had experience in providing services to other breeds making them well versed
in what was needed.
PBBNZ now takes full advantage of economies of scale, provides better integration, and
avoids duplication of administrative services within the industry. This has been achieved
through improved purchasing power and reduction in administration expenses.
PBBNZ has grown, both in staff numbers and the services it provides.
“It has gone from strength to strength,” says Richard.
The initial building was quickly outgrown and other office premises had to be sought to
house staff before the move was made to a purpose built building in 2008.
This complex is located on the fringe of Feilding’s CBD in South Street. This is now the home
to PBBNZ, the Angus and Hereford breed managers, providing admin, accounting, graphic
design and registry services to nine other breeds, and two commercial tenants; Beef +
Lamb NZ and Primary ITO.
PBBNZ is a limited liability company with strong commercially focused governance by a
Board of Directors comprising of six members who are nominated by the shareholders
(breed societies).
