The Auckland Business Chamber chief executive Michael Barnett says rebuilding the Auckland-based supply chain for manufacturing and residential construction is critical.
Barnett says such Auckland businesses need vaccinated workforces to return to work as soon as the region moves to level three to fill the supply chains and rebuild the economy.
“We need to get the Auckland supply chain ramped up fast to save businesses,” Barnett says.
“If there are issues or exemptions that are needed to enable efficient operation at a volume, tell us so we take your case to Government to find a fast a solution that still keeps people safe under level three restrictions.
“We would urge Auckland-based businesses that can accelerate production to do so, to help the tens of thousands of small and medium enterprises around the country that are in the doldrums through lack of essential supplies,” he says.
