A management buy-out of Flintfox, a leading provider of trade promotion management (TPM) solutions in North America and Australasia for the last 15 years, will see the Auckland, New Zealand headquartered company extending its solutions and services to Europe and Asia.

The new organisation, named Flintfox International Limited, is headed up by major shareholders Mike Ridgway (CEO) and Paul Coote (Professional Services Director). Paul was the architect of the TPM solution and Mike spent the latter part of last year extending partner channels in the United States and Australia for their new Trade+ solutions.

Mike has earlier provided “hands on” resource via his Ridgway Group to assist a number of other New Zealand company’s through rapid growth pains, or reengineering of their business. He says “I have been fortunate enough to see, and enjoy many great opportunities in the IT & T industry but this is certainly the most extraordinary global opportunity yet. We have been able to retain a fantastic team and I am sure this depth of talent will be pivotal to our meeting customer expectations as we grow.”
