A desire to help dairy farmers achieve environmental compliance saw me join Hi Tech Enviro Solutions at the end of October 2017.

After completing a horticulture course at Massey University focused on irrigation design, I spent 15 years as a consultant and business owner designing, product specifying, project managing and installing irrigation systems for the agriculture and horticultural industries.

Gaining in-depth knowledge from a regulator’s perspective saw me then join the Bay of Plenty Regional Council as a consents processing and compliance officer for dairy effluent and water use before joining Hi-Tech.

I believe my varied background - from designing to installing systems and working for a Regional Council - puts me in a good position to help dairy farmers meet the environmental compliance requirements of their local Council and milk processor.
