David Quigg, who heads the firm’s M&A team, said the sale agreement was subject to the due diligence, which is becoming a common trend in New Zealand.

The Lyttleton Port acquisition of NZ Express, a logistics company involved in container services and freight distribution, was also subject to due diligence, and was an indication of “the port business being in a state of development in New Zealand at the moment”.
