We’re excited to welcome the newest member of the Quasar team, Leanne Chapman, who joins us as our Finance and Operations Manager. Leanne has a wealth of experience in accounting and operations and is responsible for overseeing Quasar’s day-to-day finance and operations activities and performing financial analysis, reporting and management activities. Leanne says, "I am thrilled have joined the Quasar team and to work alongside such committed and collaborative people!"
 
Leanne graduated with a Diploma in Accountancy & Management in Ireland before starting as an Assistant Accountant with In1 Solutions, a software development company. After working up to CFO, Leanne relocated to New Zealand in 2004 where she set up a New Zealand branch for In1 and become General Manager. Along with her business partner, Leanne then set up Redcow Marketing, which helped people grow their businesses online.
 
Six years ago, Leanne relocated to Christchurch and has since held GM roles in the professional services industry with Cambridge Partners and Moore Stephens Markhams.
 
On weekends, you can find Leanne spending time with family and friends and maybe rehearsing for her latest musical theatre project, as a member of CentreStage Rolleston.

Dear all,
 
In light of today’s developments in regards to COVID-19 and the alert level in New Zealand being raised to Level 3 (and soon Level 4), we are making further changes to the way we operate. We have already suspended all travel by our team members, as well as all face-to-face meetings with clients and suppliers and are undertaking social distancing, regular hand washing and other safety measures.
 
It is business as usual for us. We are fortunate that much of our work is done remotely and so making the change to work from home is a fairly easy adjustment. As of Tuesday 24th March, all of our team are all working from home. We are all available via our usual email addresses and mobile phone numbers, as well as video conferencing. However, please do not call via direct dial numbers or the main Quasar phone number.

We’ve undertaken projects for clients across New Zealand and Australia and we have enjoyed creating customised systems for a variety of clients across diverse sectors such as manufacturing, accommodation, electricity and retail. We were also delighted to receive a Schneider Electric EcoXpert Technical Innovation Award, for our Rapid Capture and Control (RCC) application.

This year our office officially closes for the Christmas break on Friday 20th December and we reopen on Wednesday 8th January. Emails to sales@quasar.co.nz will continue to be monitored and we will respond when possible. Our support contract clients can continue to contact us on (03) 343 9159 or support@quasar.co.nz.

We hope you have a safe and Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, and we look forward to working with you again in 2020.
