Last week the welcoming face of ORIX New Zealand celebrated 30 years with the business. In honour of Catherine’s long service, we asked her what it was that’s kept her here all these years.

“If you had asked me 30 years ago if I’d still be here today, I would have laughed off the idea as being absurd! 

But 30 years on, ORIX has maintained the wonderful unique culture and great work ethic that I fell in love with at the start, with the added bonus of sharing my genuine love of cars and meeting some of my closest friends!

ORIX NZ is a successful, fun business and I feel there have been enough changes around me not to make any major changes myself – why try to fix something that isn’t broken! 

I’ve watched the comings and goings of people (including some ‘goodies’ coming back!)  and 30 years on we have an impressive number of long-timers mixed with lots of new blood, that has proven to be a great mix.

It hasn’t always been without its tough times.  We have lost some special people and while it hits us hard, the way we pull together is amazing! 

We are a close knit team that looks out for each other and that has never changed. 

I have always been and still am today, proud to be a part of the ORIX family.” 

Catherine Paul – Office Administration Manager, ORIX New Zealand

Thank you for all your years with ORIX NZ Catherine, you embody the quality values we strive for as a business and have provided a high level of service for us all to strive towards. We hope to have you for 30 years more!
