The name of Pacific Seeds
International Division is changing to Advanta International.
Advanta International will become a sister company to the four
domestic operating units, those being:
Advanta International’s major focus is to
generate sales of our sister companies’ products in all
countries outside of Australia, Thailand, India and Argentina as
well as actively searching for new investment opportunities for
the Advanta Group.
Howard Morris is the Director for Advanta International
and David Callachor will continue on as General Manager
for East Asia.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Nick Gardner
who will be taking on the role of General Manager for West Asia.
Nick first started at Pacific Seeds back in 1991 as the Pastures
Business Manager and then moved into the position of Export
Business Manager. After taking a break from the industry for two
and a half years, Nick is back with us and ready for the
challenges of his new role. Nick is well known to members of the
Australian Seed Industry and brings with him vast international
seed business knowledge.
We are also pleased to welcome Graeme Smith who has been
promoted to the position of Advanta Global Quality Assurance
Manager. His knowledge and 20 years experience in seed
technology, post harvest management, processing, seed
treatments, GMO’s and general Quality Assurance will be used in
supporting the global business in achieving uniform and high
quality standards in all Advanta Seeds business units. Graeme is
well known to members of ASF for his active participation in the
Biotech Committee, NE Region Chairman and Board Member of the
Australian Seeds Authority. Although Graeme will now have
increased responsibilities through all Advanta operating units
he will continue to be based in Toowoomba and retaining Pacific
Seeds representation to ASF.
In the coming months new appointments will also be made in South
America, Asia and the Middle East.
These are exciting times, and we
look forward to continuing to grow with all companies within the
Advanta Group. |
