Rabobank Christchurch withstands powerful earthquake
6-9-2010 | Other news
The Rabobank office in Christchurch New Zealand avoided any significant damage when a powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck 30 kilometres west of the town in the early hours of Saturday 4 September. The office reopened for business on Monday 6 September.
Ben Russell, General Manager Rabobank New Zealand, says that Rabobank’s building and systems remained largely unaffected by the most damaging earthquake to hit the country since 1931. Luckily all twenty staff are fine too. “While the Christchurch office will open for business as usual today, it will be operating on reduced manpower for a couple of days, given the disruption to basic services, including schools and in some areas water and sewerage.”
The Rabobank Business Continuity Team was at work all through the weekend. While a lot of businesses and all schools are shut today, members of the Rabobank Christchurch team are in the office, ringing clients to find out how they are and to show support.
