I had a little chuckle the other day. When I was in Auckland I thought it would be useful to catch up with Naomi Ballantyne and her team at Partners Life (sometimes cheekily referred to as Sovereign Mark III) to see what was happening.
The address was in Takapuna on the North Shore and it seemed (for a country lad like me) that this was near where Sovereign used to be.
Well I was more correct than I thought!
Partners Life is in a building behind where Sovereign was, but in actual fact it was a building the old company used before it moved to its rather swish new quarters up the motorway in Smales Farm.
I reckon that if you moved the cars in the allocated Partners Life carparks that it would still have Sovereign painted on the tar seal.
Talk about going full circle.

No, I think Partner's Life new home has been chosen not because it is talismanic or superstitious, but because Takapuna is a nice place to work.
