Big Aspirations & Humble Beginnings

Gopher.co.nz is an online business directory that was started in 2007 by two entrepreneurs, John Campbell and BJ Sveistrup, who had been friends since they were 14. John & BJ were sick of seeing New Zealand money being siphoned offshore by large multinational corporations, so they decided to start their own company, a company that would support New Zealand based businesses. John describes the drive behind the business creation:

"We saw what was going on, and we saw New Zealand companies being stifled by international monopolies that didn't do anything for them. Seeing the opportunity for ourselves and our potential customers, we set up a business with a borrowed computer.”

Gopher.co.nz has come a long way from where it started, and today it is a thriving company that is growing rapidly.

“Today [Gopher.co.nz] is the number one online business solution in New Zealand. We're very proud of this achievement," says John.

Gopher.co.nz is proud to be 100% New Zealand owned and proud to be supporting businesses in New Zealand.

The Success of Gopher.co.nz depends solely on the success of the businesses it represents.
