It might have been the New York Stock Exchange floor, but a Carterton businessman still paid tribute to Anzac Day as he rang the exchange's famous trading bell on April 25.
Ezidebit NZ national sales manager Richard Etti wore a bright red poppy during his visit to the stock exchange after winning the privilege to ring the bell for the start of trading.

Mr Etti said he won the week-long trip as part of a "lottery" for employees under his firm's parent company, Global Payments, and took his partner Carterton beauty therapist Ana Edwards with him on the adventure of a lifetime.
"There were 13 winners from different regions around the world for the 15th anniversary of Global Payments. I won it for the Asia-Pacific region out of all of the Ezidebit employees in Australia and New Zealand," Mr Etti said.
