Our People

Andrew became a part of Agpro NZ in 2000 and has witnessed the business go through numerous growth stages over the course of 23 years and ongoing. Before joining Agpro, Andrew was a farm manager in Hawkes Bay and has a strong agricultural background. 

Since his early days at Agpro, Andrew has taken on the forestry portfolio and has been enjoying his association with the industry ever since. 

Andrew’s involvement in the forestry industry has also led him to establish connections with the Ag Aviation sector, which is another industry he finds enjoyable to engage with. 

It’s not uncommon for Andrew to be up in a helicopter, surveying spraying operations alongside forestry managers—a unique perk of the job!

Andrew is married with two daughters and resides in Havelock North. He enjoys riding his e-bike, hiking up Te Mata Peak, and indulging in the occasional hazy ale.

Peter joined Agpro NZ in May 2007 after 10 years of experience with Coopers Animal Health.

Based just outside of Feilding in the Manawatu district, Peter spends most of his time to working with forestry companies across the lower North and South Islands. The remainder of his time is spent collaborating with farmers, contractors, and both helicopter and ground spray operators in the lower western North Island.

Originally from Taihape, Peter began his career as a Merchandise Salesman at Wrightson in Taihape. He later moved to Taupo to take on the role of livestock representative before returning to Taihape as Merchandise Manager. During this time, he also spent a season playing club rugby in southern Wales. Peter played 75 NPC representative games for Wanganui and King Country across all three divisions, contributing to three NPC championship teams.

Now a bit older, Peter stays active by hunting and cycling to maintain his fitness.
