Fairfax merges Auckland offices
Fairfax has merged two of its Auckland offices into one. The office, located at 2 Hereford Street, Auckland Central, will house 200 staff.
The announcement:
Fairfax Media has moved two of its Auckland office premises to one central site at 2 Hereford Street, Auckland Central.
The new office will accommodate more than 200 people in total including those from Fairfax Corporate, the Ad Network Sales & Research teams, Fairfax Corporate Communications and the Fairfax Auckland Digital team, all previously based at 110 Customs Street West. They join a team from Fairfax Sundays Business unit, Fairfax Group IT Services, and the Sport, Business & Auckland content bureaus, who moved from their base at 155 New North Road to the new location last week.
CEO Allen Williams says the new location, just off Karangahape Road, is in a vibrant area and one which he thinks is conducive to producing the creative and market-leading work Fairfax Media is renowned for.
“Combining two of our Auckland sites into a single hub is a physical manifestation of our integration. The cross-channel integration across our newspapers, magazines, online, mobile, apps, tablet, video and digital TV, is both in terms of our high quality journalism, as well as our advertising sales. Now, we have both of these under one roof.”
However, the Fairfax Media Magazines division in Auckland will remain in their premises at 317-319 New North Road, Kingsland, as will the Auckland Suburbans Group who are based at Central Park in Penrose.
