Yvonne Jenkins

Yvonne has worked in the financial services sector since 1986.

She was one of  the early pioneers in ethical Investing. In  the late 1980's there were very few brokerages focused on ethical investments. Her clients included rock bands, archaeologists  and British blue bloods that did not want to sacrifice their morals to invest.

Yvonne has been an entrepreneur  from an early age. Most notably when she cleaned out her piggy bank at the age of ten to buy a whole van load of cakes to sell at a fair.  She made a great profit and the money was used to buy her first shares in UK blue chips. 

Today, Yvonne is semi retired and works on a consulting basis only.  She is an avid reader, travels regularly and keeps up to date with world events via her extensive network of contacts in the financial world.  

 Bruce Spedding

One of the most important things with any internet based business is to have a web builder with exceptional technical ability combined with flair, talent, flexibility and a keen sense of humour. Bruce meets all these and has many other talents to boot.  

The development of a product with all the women centric  components of  Pink Investments, is very complex. Bruce has the balance and understanding of technology to weave all these components into a  working website.

Bruce first burst onto the internet scene when his New Zealand Windsurfing Guide  (http://www.winzurf.co.nz) was rated as the most complete of it's type anywhere in the world. It  won the inaugural TUANZ web design competition and was featured in the PC magazine's annual top 100 site list. 

Bruce has been manager of the New Zealand Government Web Site and his work with the New Zealand Metservice  involved the development of ecommerce websites for industry including  the public site, CupMet (Americas Cup), MetNet (pay per view public  site), Metconnect (subscription weather) and the weather component for the VodafoneLive site. All these sites are dynamic, database driven and highly configurable.

As we continue to extend Pink Investments and produce the core site in multiple languages, Bruce will be busy for some time to come!
