His company, Bodeker Scientific, led the bid for the establishment of CSST in Alexandra. "Bodeker Scientific is no different from other businesses in New Zealand; we’re looking to collaborate with new products and services," Mr Bodeker said. CSST chief executive Steve Cotter said the director of research position was "no small job." He said Dr Bodeker was not chosen because the company wanted a fulltime director of research but Dr Bodeker wished to remain at Bodeker Scientific. "The board and I agree this requires a dedicated fulltime director."
