Harri is a Matamata lad. After St Paul's Collegiate, he earned a Dip Hort at Lincoln University.

He then chased harvests both here and overseas for three seasons, driving combines and tractors. When COVID hit he came back to Te Poi and was rearing calves when Shanekea heard he was here and promptly recruited him.

His main role is to come to your farm for a site visit, schedule your job, organise proof of placement, and keep you in the loop throughout the whole process.

Outside of work Harri plays loose forward for Hinuera Rugby Club, and spends as much time as he can hunting deer, pigs and ducks.

Best things about work? Getting out in the field, meeting customers and making sure everything goes to plan.

Certifications: Growsafe Standard Certificate, Dip Hort (Lincoln), Class 5 Truck License.
