I knew I wasn’t a 9 to 5, sit at an office desk and sell boring stuff like pens and pencils type of guy. Landing a job here at Rata Industries provided me with an exciting and hands-on career working with NZ farmers. I began right in the assembly area, giving me valuable knowledge of Rata products, however further studies and an interest in marketing lead me to where I am today.
When I’m not at work you can generally find me hiking, fishing or enjoying a barbeque with the family somewhere in the great South Island.
