As an experienced engineer that comes from a family background in the farming and beef cattle industry I have the technical expertise in delivering complex turnkey agribusiness and food manufacturing projects and the homegrown knowledge to bring a sense of practicality to a client’s needs. Being understanding of the issues facing these industries and aware of the latest technologies I assist clients in achieving cost effective and efficient results that will provide solid returns on investment for many years.Without competitive and efficient processing and manufacturing facilities to add value to our agricultural commodities we will not be able to realise our full potential in moving to from the mining to the agri -food era.
