Trade Me and Stuff Group say deal is done 

Trade Me Property and Motoring have debuted on the largest New Zealand website stuff.co.nz for the first time today, marking the formal completion of the deal between Trade me and Stuff.

As announced earlier this month, Trade Me has taken a 50 per cent stake in Stuff Digital, bringing together the largest digital news audience with the leading property, motors, jobs and marketplace portal.

“This is just the beginning of a bold new partnership focused on growth and having a tangible, positive impact on the lives of New Zealanders,” Stuff Digital’s Acting Managing Director, Ben Haywood says.

“Today marks the start of where the real work begins, as we look to combine our strengths and lead new directions in the experiences, products and content New Zealanders love best.”

Trade Me’s Head of Property Alan Clark says while today is a significant milestone for connecting even more New Zealanders with the insights they need to navigate life’s big milestones, it is just the start of what Trade Me’s investment will mean for New Zealanders.

“Our first focus is on generating the highest quality property market insights and rich content – together empowering Kiwi to feel confident on their property journey,” he says.

“But what today also marks is the start of a powerful new chapter where two of the most trusted brands in Aotearoa are collaborating for the benefit of our audiences, partners, and Kiwi across the motu.”
