Bay of Plenty Young Grower of the Year Awards
Holland Beckett is a longstanding sponsor and supporter of the Bay of Plenty Young Grower of the Year awards.
Our Bay of Plenty location and the importance of horticulture to the region, means it\'s only natural for us to support the future leaders of the horticulture industry.
The Young Grower Awards are an opportunity for local young growers to develop key skills and build connections as they embark on what will likely be very successful careers. Holland Beckett sponsor the final challenge, the speech competition, where the competitors have to speak to a room of hundreds of poeple attending the gala dinner - a little different to other competition modules which test practical skills and on-the-spot problem solving in horticulture, but no less challenging.
Senior Solicitor, Grace Titter, joined the judging panel.
Congratulations to this year\'s Holland Beckett Speech Competition winner, Phoebe Scherer - who also took out the overall Bay of Plenty Young Grower of the Year title.
The event was a great success, celebrating and supporting an industry which is so vital to the region and communities within it.
