Appco Group personnel have a narrow escape during New Zealand earthquake

It was a lucky day for Appco Group. On February 22, when an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 struck Christchurch, New Zealand, Chris Kiely, the Managing Director of a company associated with Appco Group New Zealand, was conducting a Training Day in his office. But by luck Chris and his team of nine managed to exit safely. They watched in horror as an adjacent building collapsed. Exclaimed Chris, “We are all really lucky to be safe”.

Appco Group New Zealand had even put a hold on all client work from February 23-28 to allow Marketing Companies and their teams to overcome the event, and show compassion to fellow New Zealanders.

“We had given full support to the Christchurch team as they tried to overcome this experience.”, said Appco Group VP Stewart Hartley.
