NZ Olympic Committee moves in with new partner

Real estate company Barfoot & Thompson has been named an official partner of the New Zealand Olympic Committee.

The New Zealand-based company will lend its support to the country’s athletes in the build-up to, and during, this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

To mark the agreement, Barfoot & Thompson has launched a competition for one of its home sellers to win a week-long trip to Rio that will coincide with the beginning of the Games.

“They are a proud New Zealand company and I know they are going to get behind our athletes this August,” Kereyn Smith, chief executive of the NZOC, said. “The support of our commercial partners is critical in ensuring our success on the world stage.”
