About

Freeman is an experienced and savvy information services provider to the New Zealand corporate community, established in 2002 by Matt Freeman. It was previously known as Freeman Media.

It specialises in online subscription news and information services for specific business sectors, publishing a range of reports and maps, and running industry events.

Energy News was established in 2008 - a subscription-based news and information website for the New Zealand energy sector. Energy News has carved out a niche as the trusted source of New Zealand energy sector news and information.

In September 2013 Freeman launched into the mining and quarrying sectors with the publication of Inside Resources, an online subscription-based web service, using the same formula as Energy News.

In 2020 it acquired Capital Letter - New Zealand's review of administration, legislation and law. This publication provides court judgment summaries from the High Court, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court and Environment Court. It also provides updates on industry news and developments, legislation, statutory reviews and general reviews. In 2021 it acquired Judgments Unlimited Express.

Events it owns and runs include the New Zealand Energy Excellence Awards, Downstream, Oceania Renewable Power Summit, Energy Trader Forum, and Future Roads.

Freeman also publishes seven large, detailed industry maps, which provide an in-depth picture of the different sectors the company works with. Titles include New Zealand Quarry Map (North and South Islands), New Zealand Energy Infrastructure Map (North and South Islands), Smart Energy Technology Map, New Zealand Roading Map, New Zealand Mining Map, and Taranaki Energy & Infrastructure Map.
