Paul White and Edmund (Eddie) Chong have been business partners for over a decade. Both earned their stripes in the automotive industry, working in virtually every operational position possible within a dealership or distributor.

 

In 2018, while travelling around New Zealand visiting vehicle retailers to help maximise their business performance on behalf of the distributor, the concept of Fortitude Partners was born. Fast forward to today, Paul and Eddie now work alongside various dealers and distributors nationwide providing them the necessary support and advice operationally and strategically on how to stay competitive and thrive, as the industry continually changes.

 

Passionate about the industry and deeply driven to help their partners succeed, Paul and Eddie are extremely proud of the results their partners have achieved so far. Highlights include but are not limited to:

 

• Significant improvements in profitability
