Looking for a special gift for one of your grandchildren

Looking for a special gift for one of your grandchildren or maybe something for yourself.   Look no further than the Octane Group website www.octanegroup.co.nz.

In particular check out their Lego compatible brick sets (for boys or girls) which are both high quality and a fraction of the price of genuine LEGO.

In addition they also offer a range of jewellery, ride on childrens toys, cycle clothing etc. 

If you're looking for a business opportunity, check out the related article

Octane Group


Octane Trading Ltd was formed in early 2006 by Matt Arthur and Peter Gadsdon.  Between Peter and Matt, they have over 40 years corporate business experience which has given them a great understanding of a customers requirements. The overall philosophy of the company has been to source quality value for money products from around the world and make them available here in New Zealand.  As part of this process both Matt & Peter regularly attend overseas trade fairs to identify and source new, innovative or just plain value for money products to add to their range.

They also love having contact with their customers and are strongly focused on continually improving their service levels to ensure that the customers buying experience is the best that it possibly can be.









COGO and Little White Dragon Bricks


WOW!  These are really incredible!!   Building blocks have been one of the most practical and versatile toys for more than 300 years.  Lego revolutionised the blocks by making them connectable more than 50 years ago.  There are literally hundreds of studies worldwide that sing the praises of building blocks in a child's development.  Why not make a child's education fun?  All  COGO and Little White Dragon Brick Sets are compatible with LEGO , but at a fraction of the LEGO price.  From Pirate sets to Farmyard sets, Army sets to Racing Car sets.  There's over 140 different sets to choose from, ranging in size from just a few pieces through to some of the larger sets with over 1000 pieces. 










Jewellery


Octane have a wide range of necklace and earing sets on their website.  The quality is comparable with retail outlets such as Diva, but at a fraction of the price.  There's a huge range of styles and colours available to suit every taste.









Ride On Toys


These are fantastic!!  From a 3 wheel ride on trike through to a ride on mini car, you'll be really impressed. Octane have sold 100's of these in the past couple of years and in every case, their customers have been delighted with the product.







Cycle Clothing


For those really active Grown Ups, Octane have some great quality cycle shirts and shorts.  Both Matt & Peter are keen cyclists and wear the clothing themselves.  What better recommendation!!  The shirt anti bacterial materials are 100% polyester and designed to trap moisture away from the skin.  The shorts are 6 panel and are 80% nylon and 20% spandex featuring a thick CoolMax Invista chamois for extra comfort. The real bonus with these is the exceptionally good pricing!










Toothbrush Heads


One of Octane's most popular products over the past couple of years.  They may not be quite as durable as the originals, but at 1/3 of the price, they're great value and fit most Braun electric toothbrushes

As an added bonus for Grown Ups members, Octane will offer a 20% discount off the retail prices on any products purchased through the website until the end of May 2010.  All you need to do is mention "Grown Ups in the payment instructions on the website and we'll apply the discount for you.













A Business Opportunity


In addition,  Peter & Matt are  keen to make contact with people that are interested in a business opportunity, particularly for their toy range.  " We know we have great products and there's a real opportunity for some like minded people to grow a successful home based business particularly with our Lego compatible brick sets.  The toy market is still growing in New Zealand and with more than 800,000 school age children in New Zealand, the possibilities are endless."  If you're interested in looking at a business opportunity with Octane, please contact Peter or Matt at octanetrading@woosh.co.nz .
