EziBuy Limited is the largest fashion clothing and home decor multi-channel retailer in Australasia. It is a New Zealand-owned private company which was established in Palmerston North in 1978 by brothers Peter and Gerard Gillespie, and John Robinson. It expanded to Australia in 1992. "When we founded the business in Palmerston North more than 30 years ago, I could not envisage that it would evolve into what it is today" says Peter Gillespie. The company's first catalogue was a folded, A3 black and white page which was mailed to a list of organisations and clubs drawn from telephone books. Thirty years on, EziBuy produces more than 40 catalogues each year that are mailed to over half a million people in New Zealand and Australia and dispatches an average of 9,000 parcels a day to Australasian shoppers from a state-of-the-art Distribution Centre that is the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. EziBuy has built its success on a loyal customer base, the dedication of its staff. EziBuy is proud to have in excess of a 1,000-strong team who are committed to growing our business and continuing to provide the highest level of services to our customers. "I am exceptionally proud of where we have come from and am inspired and excited about where we are going to" said Peter. Today, EziBuy makes its core fashion and homeware collections available through an ever-expanding multi-channel business model that services customers via catalogues, an award winning website www.ezibuy.co.nz and www.ezibuy.com.au (both voted Most Popular Website by Hitwise in the Shopping Classifieds - Apparel & Accessories category) and also through retail stores across New Zealand. EziBuy's product range encompasses the company's core womenswear brands - Capture, Grace Hill, Emerge and Urban - plus the extended choice offered by exclusive European brands Together and Apart. Sara, a 16+ women's fashion brand, completes the range. This is complemented by an extensive range of Lingerie, Homeware and Gift products. EziBuy also provides corporate uniforms through Profile, its corporate apparel division, which is a market leader in providing branded clothing solutions to a range of blue-chip clients and large multi-nationals. In 2007 EziBuy acquired womenswear retail chain Max Fashions. A true Kiwi success story, EziBuy is one of the few New Zealand companies that has successfully integrated into the Australian market and has established itself as a trans-Tasman household name. Today, Australian customers account for more than 50 per cent of EziBuy's total business. The development and growth of online shopping with EziBuy is being driven by the need to keep ahead of the rapid and increased utilisation of the Internet by customers and is currently the fastest growing channel for EziBuy. Furthermore, EziBuy's traditional retail offering has also increased through the opening of further stores in New Zealand. EziBuy acknowledges the vital role and contribution of its staff and invests significant time and resources into their continued development as a high-performance team which embraces a future-thinking, customer-centric approach. Our aim is to always deliver a premier multi-channel service that provides outstanding customer experience, quality and value. The principles of honesty, integrity, trust and pride are fundamental to all our relationships with customers, suppliers and colleagues.
