No-frills fert on offer
Ballance Agri-Nutrients has launched SimplyFert, an ex-hub and therefore lower-cost offering said to give its shareholders choice and flexibility for purchasing nutrients.
In announcing the appointment, Ravensdown chairman Bill McLeod said Green had given the co-op plenty of notice of his intention to retire.
This gave us the luxury of time to conduct a really thorough search for his replacement, he says.
"We are grateful for that, as Rodney will leave a very different Ravensdown to the one he took over in 1998.
"We especially thank Rodney, and acknowledge the job he has done growing and strengthening the company over the years of his stewardship. This meant we needed to find a special replacement to take over the reins from him.
"We're delighted that Greg will be leading the Ravensdown team."
Campbell will be based in Ravensdown's Christchurch head office, leading a team of 684 employees in New Zealand and Australia. He has held the position of CEO of Ngai Tahu Holdings Group since his return from overseas, and has had wide experience in infastructure, petroleum, rural and waste management.
Campbell says he is "excited about joining the Ravensdown team and looking forward to the opportunities and assisting with building on the great foundations laid by the current management."
