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 DolanNZPPI Chief Executive

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.

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.

Jack Hobbs, Manager, Auckland Botanic Gardens

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.

Joe Sullivan, Olympic Gold Medalist and Recent Americas Cup Winner

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.
