Welcome to A World of Opportunity… We are delighted to have you here with us in Rotorua for NZPPI’s second annual conference. Plant production is among the fastest growing land-based sectors in New Zealand with annual growth of 10-15% over the past two years. This growth is driven by an escalating demand for plants across the food, wine, amenity, biodiversity and forestry sectors. This success is a once in a generation opportunity for our sector to align and move to the next level. Throughout conference we will be discussing the opportunities to grow your business and the wider nursery industry, something we will all benefit from. You are encouraged to network with industry peers, share your views and experiences and work collaboratively to seize the opportunities available. The workshops (business planning or succession planning) or the field trip provide the opportunity to get practical advice for business improvements. So please make the effort to attend one of these sessions. Should you need anything during your time at conference please do not hesitate to contact one of the organising committee. Your participation and lively debate brings NZPPI to life and helps us to shape an exciting future for our sector. Thanks for your attendance. We look forward to the journey ahead. Best regards, Matt Dolan NZPPI Chief Executive

Invited Speakers
John Shackleton
John has a background in sports psychology and has coached world champions and Olympic
medallists. In his quest to improve performance he turned to sports psychology to help his
athletes achieve at their absolute best. Soon John found himself running his own corporate
training consultancy delivering peak performance programmes to companies in such diverse
industries as insurance, pharmaceuticals, franchising and IT. After a bout of depression
brought on by extreme stress, John began studying ways of helping people deal with the huge
pressures the world is currently throwing at them. He quickly discovered the emerging area of
Mindfulness and saw it’s potential as a way of dealing with stress. His background of sports
psychology, performance coaching and professional speaking, plus his own journey through
depression have given John a unique and powerful approach to helping people deal with their
ever-increasing stress levels.
As a powerful speaker with a story borne out of experience, his humorous but hard-hitting style
will have the audience laughing and crying. More importantly they will find themselves making
big changes to their thinking processes and taking greater levels of responsibility regarding
their own mental health.

Jerf van Beek, National Seasonal Labour Coordinator, Horticulture NZ
Jerf came to New Zealand in the early 80’s as a backpacker from Holland after completing his
studies in Agricultural engineering. He started his career in fruit growing apples and stonefruit.
One of NZ largest pipfruit growing companies offered him a management position which he ran
parallel with his own export production. During that time Jerf represented the pipfruit industry
at government level to contribute to the development of The National Seasonal Horticulture and
Viticulture Seasonal Labour Strategy. He is now responsible for the overall National Strategy for
Seasonal Labour in the Horticulture and Viticulture industry which has been instrumental in the
development of the RSE scheme and the complete turnaround of the seasonal labour market.
During his time as National Coordinator, Jerf developed the Pick Hawkes Bay RSE cooperative,
which is currently made up of around 52 horticulture employers. Pick HB currently employs
over 400 RSE workers and has been involved in pilot groups from PNG and Fiji.
Amanda Woodbridge, Director Matai Partners

Melanie Seyfort, Marketing & Communications Manager, Trees That Count Melanie’s background is in corporate communications and sponsorship and she first started working with Project Crimson when she was head of the sponsorship team at Meridian Energy, Project Crimson’s principal sponsor at the time. So inspired was she by the work of the Trust that she switched over, and for the past eight years has been working with Project Crimson on a number of large-scale conservation projects that the Trust manages, including Trees That Count, Living Legends and Treemendous. Melanie’s role with Trees That Count is to manage communications and marketing to build the social movement, digital development and funding partnerships. Heidi Dungey, Science Leader, Genetics & Research Leader, Tree Breeding, Scion Research Dr Heidi Dungey specialises in tree breeding and genetic resource characterisation for commercial forestry species including radiata pine, Douglas-fir, cypresses, eucalypts and redwoods. Her research encompasses quantitative and ecological genetics and breeding. As leader of Scion’s genetics research programme, Heidi works closely with New Zealand seed producers and forest growers to ensure breeding strategies are tailored to meet consumer needs. Dr Dawn Smith, Senior Scientist; Research Leader, Polymers and Composites; Project Leader, Packaging Dr Dawn Smith specialises in the synthesis, characterisation, and formulation of polymers. Originally from the US, she worked in the biomedical device industry in R&D and new product development (CIBA Vision, Novartis).

Christine Harper, Business Development Manager, Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research: As New Zealanders we identify closely with our land and the rich source of biodiversity and natural resources that define our way of life. Manaaki Whenua is a Crown Research Institute owned by the NZ government. Our science is about sustainable management of the environment for the benefit of New Zealand. Preserving our biodiversity and protecting our environment and economy from invasive biological threats is central to our work. Christine Harper is a Business Development Manager at Manaaki Whenua and will provide insights into current and proposed research on biosecurity (myrtle rust), biodiversity (indigenous forestry), and land use decision-making (mapping and understanding erosion, soils and land cover). Chris Baddeley, Manager One Billion Trees Programme Te Uru Rākau/Forestry New Zealand Chris began his career with the New Zealand Forest Service in 1976 and his first years were spent studying forestry at Canterbury University. He has also worked for Department of Conservation, the Ministry of Forestry and the Ministry for Primary Industries and has come full circle with a return to Te Uru Rākau/ Forestry New Zealand. Early on Chris worked in forest operations, planning and research. For the last 25 years he has been involved in policy development as an analyst and manager. He has been involved in forest policy development and a broad range of biosecurity policies including two biosecurity strategies, Government Industry Agreements and numerous biosecurity responses. Chris currently leads the One Billion Trees Programme policy team.
Roger Robson-Williams, General Manager of Science –
Sustainable Production, Plant & Food Research
Dr Roger Robson-Williams works at Plant & Food Research, where he has been the General
Manager of Science – Sustainable Production since 2014. Scientists in his portfolio work closely
with the New Zealand kiwifruit, wine, pipfruit, avocado, cropping and vegetable industries, as
well as regional and central government, to enable sustainable intensification of agriculture
and horticulture. Formerly Director of Research Development at the Foundation for Arable
Research, Roger was responsible for research to support the New Zealand cropping sector. Prior
to this, he was Head of Science at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in the UK. Here he
managed a team undertaking applied research projects relevant to the nursery trade and home
gardeners. Roger has also held research and science management positions in the UK at the
Home-Grown Cereals Authority, Horticulture Research International and Rothamsted Research.
He is the chairman of the governance committee of the Precision Agriculture Association of New
Zealand and chairman of the Challenge Parties Group for Our Land and Water National Science
Challenge. Throughout his career, Roger has focused on the application of plant sciences to
practical problems facing plant-based industries.
Jack Hobbs, Manager, Auckland Botanic Gardens
Jack is Manager of the Auckland Botanic Gardens, a role he has held since 1997. To ensure the
Botanic Gardens are aligned with current community interests and values, market research is
commissioned to inform business planning and to monitor the effectiveness of programmes.
The Botanic Gardens are committed to engaging people with plants and gardens and making
them more important in everyday lives.
Researching and promoting a sustainable approach to gardening led to ceasing the use of
insecticides and fungicides in the early 2000’s, and the trialling and promoting of outstanding
garden plants that do not require pesticides. Linked to this is a breeding programme at the
Botanic Gardens that aims to produce hybrids resistant to pests and diseases.
Jack has also proactively promoted horticulture as a career so more talented newcomers are
attracted into the industry. This has included active involvement in the Young Horticulturist of
the Year competition since its inception.
Joe Sullivan, Olympic Gold Medalist and Recent Americas Cup Winner
Joe’s star potential was evident at a young age when he won three consecutive National
Secondary School team rowing titles and two individual rowing world titles back to back.
However, it was in London at the 2012 Olympics that Joe shot to national fame, winning a gold
medal in the men’s double sculls and a Halberg for New Zealand’s Favourite Sporting Moment
for their miraculous comeback in the final.
In 2014 Joe retired from competitive rowing to pursue his other passion of firefighting full time,
but in 2016 he announced that he was joining Emirates Team NZ to compete in the Americas
Cup. Joe’s sporting success continued with Team NZ as a key part of their victory over Oracle
Team USA in The Americas Cup in 2017. This had not been achieved by a New Zealand team
since 2000. Joe is in rare company as an Olympic and America’s Cup champion and the only
person ever to win an Olympic gold not in Sailing and an America’s cup.
Joe received a New Zealand Order of Merit in 2013 for services to rowing. His passion for
community service has meant juggling his sporting achievements with his service as a firefighter.
Cameron Bagrie, Economic consultant
Cameron has been an economist for 20 years. For over 11 years he was the Chief Economist
at ANZ, heading a team that was consistently ranked No. 1 for its analysis of the New Zealand
economy. He developed a reputation for taking a forthright stand on even the hardest of
economic issues. He’s also worked as an economist at the National Bank, Treasury and Statistics
New Zealand.
At ANZ Cameron took the team beyond commentary on the usual economic indicators and wrote
extensively on everything from agriculture to banking and credit facilitation, key industries and
Government fiscal policy.
His approach to economics is pragmatic and non-ideological. Too much commentary focuses
on what the Reserve Bank does while ignoring microeconomics and the wider economy. As
a public speaker Cameron has a real talent for communicating complex issues in layperson’s
language. Cameron holds B Com from the University of Otago and an M Com from the University
of Canterbury.
11Richard Palmer, Deputy CE, Horticulture NZ Richard is the Deputy Chief Executive of Horticulture New Zealand, covering the biosecurity, trade policy and food safety portfolios for pan-industry. He has had a lifelong involvement in horticulture and is still involved in a family horticulture operation in Nelson (apples, kiwifruit, wine grapes and hops), a packing and cool storage business, and a plant variety management company. In former roles he’s worked for the Australian Department of Agriculture, was the General Manager of Freshco Nelson, and a Director of Pipfruit New Zealand. He is married to an Australian diplomat and as a result is heading off to Indonesia later in 2018 for three years. Peter Vaughan, CEO Nursey & Garden Industry Australia Peter joined NGIA as the Chief Executive Officer in April 2015. Peter has worked across several Australian agricultural industries over the last 25 years including horticulture, seed, grains and livestock in a range of management, commercial and technical roles. The roles have always been at the interface between research and development and commercialisation activities to identify the opportunities and capture the value of intellectual property as a licensor and licensee. Ian Blackman, Consultant, BlackmanSpargo Rural Law Ian’s diverse career experience included employment with the Treasury, the Department of Inland Revenue, the Department of Labour and the Rural Banking & Finance Corporation. In the early 1980s, Ian was the lending manager of the Rural Bank in Rotorua and in 1985 he moved into private practice in Rotorua. He utilised his rural banking background to build a strong rural client base. Ian specialised in commercial rural legal work. A significant aspect of his work involved legal structures, estate planning and succession planning for farming families. Ian speaks publicly to groups of farmers and professionals, including the BNZ Farmers Conference in Rotorua, the Large Herds Conference in Christchurch and the Succession Planning Summit at Massey University. Ian has written a book on trusts and succession planning entitled “Keeping Farming in the Family – a guide to farm succession”. The book is an indispensable guide for rural families who are interested in creating a workable succession plan. Ian retired in 2017 and spent time revising his book to expand on fairness and making decisions.
