Introduction

Introducing the EziBuy Staff Portal

As Administrators, we recognize the uncertainty and concern that the recent announcement may have caused for EziBuy staff. Our commitment is to guide you through this process.

We have developed the EziBuy Staff Portal to facilitate effective communication, provide easy access to essential resources, and offer proper guidance. Upon logging in, kindly subscribe for important updates. The portal includes:

Announcements regarding EziBuy’s situation
A comprehensive FAQ section addressing concerns, such as job security
Relevant forms and documents to be completed during this process

We respectfully request staff to refrain from speaking with the media over the next two weeks to maintain consistent messaging across all stakeholders. If approached, please contact our office or direct inquiries to Chris Fogarty at [email protected].

We will be speaking to your union as part of the restructuring process.

EziBuy’s challenges mirror the broader retail landscape, with New Zealand’s economy contracting 0.6% in the December ’22 quarter. This had a significant impact on retail sales nationwide. At the same time fluctuating exchange rates have increased import costs increasing our FX risk. These factors have led to an unsustainable cost structure for the company.

We acknowledge the unease that change brings but rest assured, we will be working towards a positive outcome.

Thank you for your commitment and understanding. We encourage you to log in and subscribe to the EziBuy Staff Portal to stay informed and connected.
