Testimonial Chalkydigits Bryce Jenkins, General Manager Chalkydigits is a pioneer of creative lifestyle wear in New Zealand and remain committed to New Zealand manufacture, using sustainable practices and materials where possible and give back to the environment that inspires them.

Chalkydigits has been a member of CECC since July 2010.

Over this time the company has received assistance across a range of business areas.

“We have seven staff employed in a range of areas. Being a small organisation we often lack the resources to deal with all the opportunities that come our way. This is where we get the most help from CECC. We have attended a number of training courses and use CECC as the first stop when we have some tricky questions - like getting a carnet for an international trade show or registering for GST in Australia. If CECC can’t answer our questions directly, they always put us in contact with someone that can help.

“Our CECC membership has given us additional business tools to call on, as and when required. I would recommend anyone in business, either starting up, established or just wanting business advice to get involved with CECC and be part of the business community.”
