Following MBIE’s public statement about Intellicomms Pty Ltd going into liquidation, NZSTI has sought clarification and can advise members of the following:
• The Ezispeak brand was owned and operated by Intellicomms Pty Ltd, a company registered in Australia. Intellicomms Pty Ltd recently sold their Ezispeak brand to another company, then entered liquidation on 8 September 2021.
• Payment for any work interpreters have performed for Ezispeak prior to and including 8 September 2021 is the responsibility of Intellicomms Pty Ltd, therefore interpreters should contact the liquidator for further information. To see the liquidators’ contact details, click here for the notice of appointment as liquidator.
• Payment for any work interpreters have performed from 9 September 2021 onwards is the responsibility of Ezispeak’s new parent company (which is solvent). If interpreters have any queries about payment they should contact Ezispeak through their usual channels.
• The liquidators will be challenging the sale of the Ezispeak business in court (in Australia) on 23/24 November 2021.
• MBIE will be posting updates on their website here.
NZSTI will also inform members when we become aware of any new information.
