With over 40 years of experience in the primary sector, Mark brings deep industry knowledge and first-hand growing experience to his role at Farmlands. He began as a kiwifruit grower before moving into technical and advisory roles with NZFF, Fruitfed Supplies and now Farmlands, where he has worked as a Technical Advisor for more than 14 years. Mark is known for his expertise in kiwifruit, passionfruit and tamarillos, and has supported growers through both prosperous times and major challenges. One of his most memorable moments was helping growers recover after the PSA outbreak, playing a part in rebuilding an industry that is once again thriving.
"It’s incredibly rewarding to stand alongside growers and help them come out stronger on the other side."
Outside of work, Mark enjoys fishing, hunting and getting out on his bike.
