Businesses prepared for earthquakes, limited disruption reportedDIEGO OPATOWSKI/FAIRFAX NZ Business NZ chief executive Kirk Hope says businesses are prepared for remote access working. Business NZ expects it will take no more than a week to return to business as usual following Monday morning's 7.5 magnitude earthquake near Hanmer Springs. But with most companies largely set up for staff to work remotely there have been few reports of challenges for businesses, Business NZ chief executive Kirk Hope said. SCOTT HAMMOND/FAIRFAX NZ Malborough-based brewery Moa says it will monitor any impacts on its supply chain partners to minimise disruption. Meanwhile, the country's listed companies have reported limited impacts to the New Zealand stock exchange, which opened as normal on Monday.
