Our People

Grant Wilson

Grant has now been actively involved in the vegetable production industry for 33 years. His background experience involved the supply of general crop input products, but his focus in recent years is as a specialist in vegetable seed and seed coating products. He oversees the trialling and assessment of new vegetable cultivars as they become available, and works to establish the best of these for commercial use where they offer clear advantages for the grower/producer.

 When he can organise spare time, Grant will usually head for the hills, rifle in hand, hunting for venison for the freezer and a trophy set of antlers or horns.
