Tait and the earthquake

Wednesday, 23 February, 2011

The Christchurch facilities of Tait Radio Communications experienced an earthquake aftershock on 22 February 2011.

No staff have been injured. The campus facilities, which are near the airport rather than the central city district, appear to be in sound condition but a structural inspection is scheduled.

Frank Owen, global managing director of Tait Radio Communications, said, "Clearly, others in the community here in Canterbury have been far more impacted by this earthquake and our heartfelt thoughts go out to them.

"We are supporting the emergency services with our technology and our people.

"The management and staff would like to thank all our commercial partners and customers for your well wishes.

"We at Tait would like to thank those emergency workers and volunteers that are involved in the ongoing rescue and recovery effort."
