Health and Safety Officer
After traveling around Australia for around six years gaining experience in various roles across farming, Floy moved home to Aotearoa and started with the Trust in 2022. Beginning as an orchard supervisor, Floy was able to find passion in people, and has since progressed into a role as Health and Safety Officer whilst also completing his Diploma in Health and Safety at the beginning of 2024.
Floy has done well to innovate across the orchard space through the introduction of safer and more wellbeing-focused initiatives, including the introduction of free monthly health clinic visits for staff, adopting a better tracking and incident reporting system, and the re-introduction of original land block names through health and safety signage.
Floy aspires to uplift Ngāi Tukairangi Orchards into a space wherey the business is at the forefront of health and safety across the industry, thereby setting standards for others to follow.
