I
am a registered, professional
Farm Management Consultant
and have been consulting
and advising farmers since
1975, specializing in the
provision of full management
services to a range of clients,
many who are absentee landowners.
I have a proud record of
achieving profitable
results for my clients.
Initially
I specialised in full supervision
services for absentee owners
of sheep and beef farms.
During that time I gained
considerable experience
from sheep & beef breeding
schemes; sheep & beef management;
intensifying and developing
profitable farming systems.
|
During
the 1990's business planning
identified a need to diversify
many large-farm clients'
businesses into dairy farming.
We were instrumental in
the strategic planning processes
to make these decisions;
implemented feasibility
studies to determine the
viability of each project,
and business as a whole;
were project managers of
the conversion and responsible
for delivering the results
as indicated in the initial
studies.
Within
the last 12 years we have
completed six major dairy
conversions ranging in size
from 300 to 1500 cows.
Dairy
Projects International capitalises
on that practical experience.
It is now being put to use globally,
in the USA, South America and
interest now from Asia.

I
have owned and productively
managed my own dairy farm.
In 1982 I purchased a small
engineering company and
have since developed this
into a large, successful
business employing 10 staff,
specialising in farm related
engineering.
In
this time I have developed
and created the "Reporoa
High Lift Gate", a sought
after backing gate for Dairy
Parlour yards, which has
been exported to the UK,
Australia, Brazil, and Denmark.
|
|
After several years of successful
milking parlour construction,
rotary platform construction
and milking plant construction
in New Zealand I have constructed
several new dairy parlours
in the UK and Denmark, and
been responsible for the
upgrade of several others
in the UK.
I
now operate a joint venture
company in the UK to manufacture
the gates and dairy parlours.

Reporoa
High Lift Gate
Showing light weight robust
construction, this gate
is able to travel over the
top of cows in the yard
and drop down at any point
to provide a physical barrier
to shift both large and
small groups of cows. This
gate has revolutionised
cow handling at the milking
parlour.
The
Reporoa High Lift Gate can
be fully electronically
automated to the level required
and can, with the "dung-buster"
attachment, clean the yard
as it moves forward.

Cultural
Awareness and Influences
New Zealand is largely bicultural
and we understand the need to
take local cultural factors into
account in our management systems. We operate with indigenous people in New Zealand, providing consultancy and full management, and producing very profitable results, enabling groups to realise their social and cultural aspirations.
