The Culture Transformation Achievement Award

For more than 50 years MARAC has been helping New Zealanders and local businesses build a better future through their finance and investment offerings. This has led to MARAC being recognized as one of New Zealand's top finance companies – a standing reaffirmed by MARAC being one of only three to have the much coveted ‘investment grade’ credit rating from international credit ratings agency Standard & Poor’s. Wholly New Zealand-owned by Pyne Gould Corporation, the wider MARAC finance group includes the Ascend Finance, Nissan Finance and MARAC Securities brands.

Brian Jolliffe, Managing Director, believes MARAC's position as New Zealand's pre-eminent finance company results from having the best people in finance working for MARAC. This philosophy, coupled together with shared values, inspiring vision and engagement of teams in their cultural journey has led to us having a team who are passionate about sharing their customers' vision and working with them to find the most effective tailored solutions. It has also led to greater team interaction and co-operation, innovation, adaptability, service quality and a team who actively strive to create a better work environment.

These cultural outcomes have contributed to MARAC’s overall success, evidenced through strong growth in both assets and financial returns of the company and MARAC's impeccable reputation in the marketplace.
