NZ website company Zeald invests in growing software company

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 tailored web-based software solutions for large-scale 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 small to medium sized 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 and approximately two websites being built daily.

About Twiik

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. Much of Twiik’s work is behind closed doors (as an outsource partner to other companies) but their work includes both customer-facing and back-end development used by a number of large commercial and crown customers in New Zealand.
