About Us

World Wide Imports was originally established in New Zealand in 2000 as a specialist Importer and Distributor of quality Chocolates, Biscuits, Confectionery, and Snacks for the Christmas and Easter events. Our imported brands are predominantly sourced from Europe, the UK, and Australia. The business has grown over the years to become one of New Zealand’s leading suppliers of imported and custom designed seasonal gifting products and our brands have become an important part of the NZ food retailer’s seasonal programme.

 

The company expanded operations into Australia in 2006 and has grown rapidly in the seasonal gifting
category and in particular we have experienced significant growth in our custom designed and filled gift
tin business. This very specialized part of our business has captured the imagination of retailers and
consumers alike and we now enjoy business with Australia and New Zealand’s leading FMCG retailers.
We have also recently successfully launched some of our leading brands into the South African market.

We offer our customers a full range of supply services customized to suite their needs, from full
container loads of product on an FOB basis in origin currency, right through to delivering a carton to
your distribution centre or store in local currency.

Our company head office is in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The company Managing Director is Mr. Steve Wyllie, who has had a career spanning 26 years in the
Confectionery, biscuit, and the seasonal gifting category, from manufacturing, to retail and then to
importing, wholesaling, and distributing.

The company Finance and Operations Director is Mr. Scott Vivian, who is a Chartered Accountant with a
distinguished career in Financial Management spanning 10 years, and also holds a degree in law.
