Welcome to the Ashburton Directory
Welcome to the second in a chain of State Highway
One Business directories covering the centre of the South Island
of New Zealand. Our first online business directory was established
in Timaru in 2006.
When we started the first online business directory in Timaru we
wanted to provide a service to the businesses in the towns of
Ashburton, Temuka, Timaru and Oamaru. These are the main
towns that service the rural communities along state highway one
between Christchurch and Dunedin. We want our business
directories to provide the communication links that will foster
trade between these towns and cities. We also wanted each town
to have their own individual website with a link to all the local
websites.
To do this we have secured the online domain name of
directory.co.nz and these link to our business directories that we
are building in Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru, Oamaru and
Dunedin. Our task now is to build each website so that businesses
can be found in their individual business categories.
BUSINESS PROMOTIONS
During our promotional work of building a business directory
for each of the State Highway One Cities and Towns we stop and
spend some time with our new business clients to find out a little
bit more about them and what services they offer. Keep watching
this space because this provides a link to their stories and the
place where our clients work and live.

Lets Talk Business in the Riverside Industrial
Park, Ashburton
What was once a rubbish dump is now a prosperous industrial park
with lots of modern industrial buildings housing all kinds of different
industries. We talked to 14 businesses in the park who all shared
their story about their businesses with us.
You
can now read their stories online.
The park is still the home of rubbish disposal but in a different
way. A
trust has been formed to educate, restore and recycle Ashburton’s
rubbish.
