In 1987 New Zealand Post became a State-Owned Enterprise. And while our history actually spans over 160 years it is the past 20 years – a period of change, refocus and diversification – that defines us today and shapes our future.
Today we are a vibrant, profitable organisation operating in hundreds of communities, employing thousands of New Zealanders.
We are ambitious for New Zealand and ourselves. We are thinking about how we can continue to meet the needs of our customers and how we can continue to offer real value. We believe we will do this by not only looking at what we can do today or tomorrow, but what we will do years from now and thinking about how we will get there.
Our 20th anniversary is about celebrating who we were, who we are, and who we will become. The New Zealand Post Group is proud of our heritage and eager to be an integral part of our country’s future.
In 20 years – or even by 2050 – what will the New Zealand look like? How will we have changed? While 2050 may seem like a long way off, the decisions we make and the paths we choose today will influence that future.
We have asked some prominent artists to share with us their vision of New Zealand in 2050. They have produced beautiful and thought-provoking works. I hope you enjoy them.

Chief Executive, New Zealand Post Group
