Zeald invests in growing software company |
For immediate release
Wednesday, 24 April 2013
Fast growing New Zealand website design company, Zeald, announced today it was making a strategic investment in the emerging cloud application development industry by purchasing a 49 percent stake in Twiik (pronounced “tweak”), an Auckland-based start-up company specialising in custom web-based software solutions for New Zealand businesses.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Zeald opening a new office in Christchurch earlier this month, and it plans to expand across the Tasman into Sydney later this year.
David Kelly, Zeald Chief Executive, says the investment in Twiik is a key part of its growth plans for this year.
“This is an exciting development for Zeald, which aims to complement our already strong position as New Zealand’s leading website development company. Together with Twiik, we will continue to help New Zealand businesses of all sizes thrive with market leading online solutions”, says David Kelly.
The partnership enables Zeald to guide Twiik, with their thirteen-year market knowledge and expertise, and grow it as a complementary “sister company”. Zeald will retain its own market focus on New Zealand and Australian businesses and continue to deliver real results for its website customers.
In just under thirteen years, Zeald has grown to become the market leader in website development, with over 3,000 clients.

Twiik was founded by John Jones in 2008 with many of the same commitments to value, transparency and delivering tangible results that are embedded in the Zeald DNA. John’s long-time fascination with software, usability and the web quickly combined into taking on web projects that were more akin to software than conventional websites.
Founded in 2000, Zeald is New Zealand's leading website design and e-business consultancy company. Zeald is expert at building websites that generate results, specialising in innovative website design and eCommerce web development. Its vision is to help small to medium sized companies generate tangible results online using a website and other methods of electronic marketing.
Zeald’s main consulting office is based in Albany on Auckland’s North Shore and its operations office relocated from Albany to Orewa in December 2012. Its new office in Hornby, Christchurch, strengthens Zeald’s presence in the South Island. The company will grow its presence in Australia from a Sydney-based office later this year.
