Spark New Zealand initiates strategic review of Digital Services division.

Spark New Zealand initiates strategic review of Digital Services division. Spark New Zealand Limited (ASX: SPK), a leading telecommunications and digital services provider in New Zealand, today announced the commencement of a strategic review of its Digital Services division. This initiative is a key part of the company's SPK-30 strategy, which focuses on core connectivity while simplifying and optimising its offerings beyond the core. Spark New Zealand provides a comprehensive suite of mobile, broadband, and IT solutions to consumers and businesses across the country. The company will adopt a new organisational structure featuring two distinct divisions: Connectivity and Digital Services. The Connectivity division will encompass consumer mobile, broadband, and business connectivity, including managed services, collaboration, IoT, and security. The Digital Services division will comprise cloud, IT services, and adjacent products. The strategic review aims to assess options to maximise shareholder value from its Digital Services portfolio, with an advisor appointed and completion expected during H1 FY27. There is no certainty that the review will result in a transaction. In conjunction with this organisational shift, Spark has made changes to its Leadership Team. Mark Beder has been appointed Chief Customer Officer of Connectivity, taking responsibility for the core business. Greg Clark will serve as Interim Chief Customer Officer of Digital Services until December 2026, after which he will depart the company following a 13-year career with Spark. Additionally, Tommy Bjorkberg has been appointed Chief Operating Officer, and Leela Ashford will assume the role of Chief Marketing and Corporate Affairs Officer. Spark CEO Jolie Hodson noted that these changes are designed to create clear ownership and strengthen execution across both divisions, enabling appropriate capital and resource allocation. The company confirmed that its FY26 guidance remains unchanged, with its full-year results scheduled to be reported on August 20.

TenPeaks reveals investment plans following Spark spinoff

TenPeaks reveals investment plans following Spark spinoff. Feb 25, 2026 3 mins Fresh from being spun out of Spark TenPeaks plans to boost capacity by 130MW. New Zealand's newest data centre operator TenPeaks has revealed it plans to invest more than $3 billion in developing its data centre capacity in the country. TenPeaks was established in January after being spun out from Spark, following the sale of the majority stake of its data centre business to Pacific Equity Partners (PEP). The transaction valued Spark's data centre business at up to $705 million. In a statement, TenPeaks said it already operates 23MW of IT capacity across 11 facilities and had a development pipeline of over 130MW on owned land to support its long-term growth. According to the company, its existing development pipeline represented more than $3 billion of projected investment, while the overall investment value of the pipeline increased to an estimated $6 billion when taking into account customer IT infrastructure housed in its data centres. However, TenPeaks added it had a clear ambition to grow well beyond its current pipeline to take advantage of the growing demand for data centre capacity in New Zealand. Citing a recent study by Boston Consulting Group, TenPeaks said New Zealand could unlock up to $70 billion of economic activity over the next decade from the delivery of 600MW of new data centre capacity. "TenPeaks has been established as a dedicated digital infrastructure platform to support New Zealand's growing requirements for cloud, AI and sovereign data solutions," said CEO Michael Stribling. "Our national footprint and scalable development pipeline positions us to support customers today and into the future." Stribling joined TenPeaks from Spark, where he was general manager of its data centre business, and is joined by Rob Woodgate as CFO on the TenPeaks management team. Woodgate previously held CFO roles at Fulton Hogan and Ryman Healthcare. The company has three major development campuses based in the greater Auckland region, where it says data centre demand is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of about 21 per cent over the next five years and where global cloud providers have established sovereign cloud services. "Data centres are essential digital infrastructure that underpin society's growing digital needs. We are proud to partner with Spark and support TenPeaks as it, and the New Zealand market, enter a period of transformative growth," said PEP managing director Andrew Charlier. TenPeaks is jointly owned by Spark and PEP. Spark retains a 25 per cent shareholding and remains a long-term strategic partner and major customer, while PEP holds the remaining 75 per cent stake through its Secure Assets strategy. PEP's Secure Asset strategy invests in Australian and New Zealand infrastructure businesses in attractive sectors that require access to significant capital to deliver on growth potential in the market. Meanwhile, TenPeaks, which takes its name from New Zealand's landscape defined by mountains, said sustainability and resilience was core to its strategy. The business is targeting 100 per cent renewable electricity supply and designing developments to support high-density, next-generation cloud and AI workloads. "TenPeaks' newest data centre in Takanini showcases our focus on energy efficiency and innovation. It has achieved a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of below 1.2, setting a benchmark for the industry in New Zealand," the company said.
