Vault Compliance Systems- where is its registered office ?
I have just been alerted to a post on Kiwis first entitled International Players
The article is about Suzanne Snively and Victor Cattermole
Susan Snively of transparency International fame is the chair person of Vault compliance systems .
She works along side Victor Cattermole sole director and share holder of the company.
382 Wairakei Road, Burnside, Christchurch, 8053 , New Zealand
According to Whale Oil “Victor Cattermole is one such dodgy ratbag standing for public office. Amongst other things he has been censured by Securities and Commerce Commissions for running a (likely) ponzi scheme.”
Despite this the company registered to 3/38 Clearwater Drive, Belfast, Christchurch, 8011 , New Zealand gives its address on the web site as Level 19, Two International Finance Centre,8 Finance Street,Central, Hong Kong .
This is also the address for http://suisseinternationalgroup.com/contact/
I personally find that funny as Suzanne used to work for Jarden and co which became credit Suisse.
It would appear that Clearwater Avenue is a new development on the golf club Zoodle is the only site which locates it , we still need to check it out perhaps Suzanne can help us out on this one.
It is not clear where Mr Cattermole, who uses both Victor and Thomas as his first name , lives as the company records on 5 August show him using the address of 25 Northcote Road,Northcote Christchurch 8052 which is the address he used as Thomas Cattermole on the vault shareholder application form but at the same time as Director Thomas victor Henry Ronald Catermole and using the same signature claimed to live at 382 Wairakei Road, Burnside,vault compliance
I find this all very confusing Suzanne do you work from Hong Kong or do you work from Christchurch.
what is the registered office of the company and who exactly works in Hong Kong.
And what about the transparency of your business partner what standards do you have .. what can we expect?
TINZ Integirty systems in question
Transparency international New Zealand was funded by the government to do an integrity report on our public service.
We found that the finding that we had ” the least corrupt public sector ” came about due to a number of factors.
- Corruption was not defined or looked at – due to the assumption that as”the least corrupt country ” we must be doing things right .
- Transparency Internationals New Zealand itself having given NZ the status of being perceived to be the least corrupt so as to encourage business growth in NZ
- Transparency International New Zealand funded by government departments
see correspondence with the minister Judith Collins Please provide the evidence to support that New Zealand is the least corrupt country in the world.
and the response from the companies office
the following is a news release
We repeatedly hear that Shanghai Pengxin has purchased land in New Zealand previously the Crafar farms and now poised to buy the Lochinver Station.
It is time that we got our facts right as to who actually owns the property and just a tiny bit of research brings massive concerns.
There is no company in New Zealand called Shanghai Pengxin and no land in New Zealand owned by a company of that name
There is however an entity called PENGXIN NEW ZEALAND FARM GROUP LIMITED which owns some 76 titles according to Terranet .
PENGXIN NEW ZEALAND FARM GROUP LIMITED has one director, Chinese billionaire Zhaobai JIANG, the company’s sole shareholder is MILK NEW ZEALAND HOLDING LIMITED which in turn is also directed by Mr Jiang.
But look at the shareholding of MILK NEW ZEALAND HOLDING LIMITED and it is allegedly owned by Milk New Zealand Investment Limited Suite 1, 139 Vincent Street, Auckland Central.
Strangely enough Milk New Zealand investment does not exist on the New Zealand company register.
The question is how can a non-existent company make an application to be a shareholder?
According to the lawyers for the company’s registrar takes applications on face value, this is the reality of the integrity systems which Transparency New Zealand reported on recently .
It was these very same integrity systems which Judith Collins attributed to New Zealand being perceived as the least corrupt.
If we don’t look we don’t see
If we don’t define it we cannot have it
Will there be an enquiry into the company structure of PENGXIN NEW ZEALAND FARM GROUP LIMITED ?

How struck off lawyers continue to practice
It is business as usual at the premises of Equity law Barristers Limited, the only things that have changed is that the receptionist now answers the phone as equity group. Ask her if it is a law firm and she will tell you that it is .
The sign in the foyer and by the lift at 44 Khyber pass road still read Equity Law . The business of Equity law barristers has allegedly been ” merged with Stewart an associates lawyers limited a firm from Alexandra operated by an associate of Equity law barristers director . Greg Stewart is also director of associates companies operated from the same premises EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL LIMITED . The share holder of this company is the ultimate shareholder of companies such as Unihold . Maxhold which are companies directed by Cypriot Manti EFFROSYNI they have a interesting origin and have owned a multitude of off shore trust companies between them. they had origins with Glenn SMITH ( THE COMPANY NET TRUST ) 69 Ridge Road, Albany, Auckland , New Zealand see news item Web of intrigue
It appears that EQUITY TRUST INTERNATIONAL LIMITED took over the administration a number of Glen Smith and Gt Taylor’s companies .
Both Greg Stewart and the director of Equity trust placed their wives in positions of ultimate share holders of companies which had been operated by Smith and Taylor.
Although the web site of the former law firm has gone and the principal no longer holds a practicing certificate a you tube clip promoting the firm as a law firm still exists
Today we obtained information from Julia Leenoh that she is working under the ” trading “name Stewart and associates equity law which she claims is a branch of Stewart and Associates .
The fact that she is a very new lawyer working under what appears to be the supervision of a struck off lawyer appears to be beside the point see Lawyers to face forced competency test
