North Shore health company targets the world

Knowing the value of New Zealand’s ‘clean green’ image helped North Shore company Good Health Products Limited win a major exporting award at this year’s Westpac Enterprise North Shore Business Excellence Awards.

Good Health won the coverted Chelsea Sugar Excellence in Exporting at this year’s awards with judges commenting on the company’s use of New Zealand’s image to target export markets.

“We noticed that Good Health uses their well known brand coupled with excellent research and experience to attack their key exporting markets,” says Matthew Bellingham, convenor of judges.

“The company has cleverly leveraged the New Zealand’s ‘clean green’ image to partner with large global users of natural products – a great strategy for exporting.”

Good Health’s product range is expansive and includes the full spectrum of health oils, comprehensive digest, winter and seafood ranges, designer herbal and weight management formulations, multi-vitamins, minerals, and skin care. Specialising in ailment-specific products Good Health is proud to provide modern health solutions, tailor-made for the needs of today's ever-changing society.

“Not only is it vital to ensure we have a highly effective balance of nutrients in our formulas, we are also committed to using the highest quality ingredients,” says Paul O’Brien, CEO of Good Health Products. “Because we are 100% New Zealand owned and operated, producing quality products of New Zealand origin is at the very core of our company values. Ingredients are sourced from New Zealand farmers and growers. GE-free and organic crops remain our first priority.”

“Good Health shows how successful exporting can be for a company,” says Terry Hoskins, chief executive of Enterprise North Shore, joint co-sponsor for the business excellence awards. ”Through clever targeting, research and experience the company has taken their health products from New Zealand to global markets creating local jobs and economic wealth in the process.”
