Celebrating 29 years of service
Harry Lichwark (inaugural Seed Orchard Manager and Rodger’s mentor), Rob Lawrence (inaugural Marlborough Branch Manager), family and staff came together, both in person and via a Team link to share their memories of Rodger and the Seed Orchard – Ross reflected on his time at the seed orchard with both Harry and Rodger and the significant contributions both have made to our business.
Rodger’s wife and 3 daughters spoke of how the Seed business had been a significant part of their lives growing up.
The words ‘innovative’ and ‘dedicated’ came up often over the course of the day to describe Rodger who has an innate ability to find easy ways to do hard things.
A wooden plaque presented to Rodger was created from a bit of wood that Rodger had roughly shaped decades ago to help scrape cones into bins as they came out of the seed extractor.
Rodger's knowledge and experience is highly regarded and he remains an integral part of our Seed business success.
Enjoy your retirement Rodger – you’ve created a lasting legacy and are another iconic figure in the PF Olsen story.
