The first woman president of the Pukekohe Vegetable Growers Association (PVGA), Kylie Faulkner, scooped the President's Trophy at the HortNZ awards night at Mystery Creek.

Faulkner, who took the top role at PVGA in 2019, has been recognised for her passion for working on behalf of New Zealand's horticulture industry, as well as commitment to developing as a business leader and successful grower.

As president of PVGA, Faulkner has strenuously advocated for growers in the areas of land use, the environment and labour.

During Auckland's lockdowns, she helped ensure that Pukekohe growers could continue to pick, pack and transport their produce to New Zealanders around the country.
