Phil Anderson: Event Hire owner on their partnership with A&P to operate a slimmed down event - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A Christchurch company has stepped in to save this year's Canterbury A&P show. 

Event Hire's reached an agreement with the A&P association to operate a slimmed down version of the annual November event. 

The partnership follows the A&P board calling it off due to its financial situation. 

To be called the Christchurch Show, it will remain at the show grounds. 

Event Hire owner Phil Anderson told Mike Hosking that discussions had been underway since the show was canned. 

He says interest was sparked after they were asked by suppliers and vendors whether they could offer support.
