Athlete and hurdler Nick Bolton (left) and Jordan Barron who own strength training equipment maker Exerfly, based in Christchurch, have seen their sales “explode” overseas, especially with US sports teams.
Strength training equipment maker Exerfly’s overseas sales have “exploded” after an international launch “mid-pandemic” and it’s not looking back. The Christchurch-based company made one of its first international sales in August last year to the 2020 World Series Major League Baseball champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The company, run by business partners Nick Bolton and Jordan Barron, has also sold to the United States professional basketball team, the Golden State Warriors, to the British Premier League football team Wolverhampton Wanderers, Canada’s Olympic ski team, and the British Paralympics Association, Barron said.

Cordis hotel general manager Franz Mascarenhas says the impact of Auckland’s three-day lockdown could be felt for months to come, and he hopes the Government will do more to assist the tourism sector.
The cost of calling off conferences and events during Auckland’s snap lockdown will run to millions of dollars, and businesses say Government aid will be a drop in the bucket.
Uncertainty over how long the Alert Level 3 restrictions will apply are also causing major headaches for upcoming events, such as Auckland’s Home Show, which was due to start a five-day run next week after being delayed by the last Auckland lockdown.
