JULY 2 015 THE T&G/DELICA CHINA LAUNCH STORY ON PAGE 10/11 COVER IMAGE: Ivi Wang, T&G/Delica Finance Administrator WELCOME Working towards‘One T&G’ Last year we started a journey to unify our business. As a team we created new strategic pillars, new Mindsets (Values) and launched this together under the new T&G brand. During this time it has been encouraging to see both our people and various sites flourish with these initial changes and start the move forward as one team. Not only are we unifying our businesses but we are also integrating them to work closer and smarter and improve performance for our customers and growers. We need to be aware of the necessity of keeping our customers’ and growers’ requirements front of mind as we go about our daily jobs. One integration currently underway is that of our ENZA and Apollo businesses – that together now form the T&G Pipfruit division. The acquisition step was just the beginning with the real work still to come. I have recently been in the Hawkes Bay and witnessed the effort that is going into this project. I am confident the end result will be one of a strong pipfruit team that will take the category to the next level. Unification of multiple businesses is not an easy task; but with strong people leaders in place, a clear direction and the willingness of everyone to work together in support of“One T&G”, we will become an even greater success on the world stage. In addition to the clear direction of the business going forward, T&G will continue to invest in the future of the industry by not only fostering the talents of our own T&G people but also supporting and encouraging the younger generation to choose a career in horticulture. ALASTAIR HULBERT CEO Welcome Welcome to the first issue ofT&G Fresh Update. Historically we have had two magazines – one for our T&G people (The Fresh Press) and one for our key customers, growers and external stakeholders (T&G Update) . Recently we realised that, with our new Mindset of being ‘Open’ and the fact that the majority of what we do we are happy to talk about, it made sense to combine the two publications and create one for everyone – inside and outside our business. The Fresh Update will share all the latest information on us, our people, milestones, achievements, strategies and general news and views on our industry. Electronic copies will be available online at www. [tandg.global](tandg.global) and printed copies will be available at our sites if you require one. KYLIE HOROMIA Corporate Communications Manager The Fresh Update is always looking for ideas. If you have something to share or feedback you would like to give please email [communications@tandg.global](communications@tandg.global) or contact Bernie Ferreira, Communications Coordinator. MILESTONES Thankyou MICHAEL DOSSER (LEFT) T&G Board Director Michael Dosser’s 40+ year venture with T&G began in 1963 when he started working for Fruit Distributors of which T&G later became majority shareholder. In 1977 Michael became General Manager and developed strong relationships with a number of senior people in international shipping companies and later became a director of Allen Blair and McKay shipping, both companies owned in part by Fruit Distributors. In the early 1990’s the Noboa family, owner of Bonita Bananas, brought a 10% stake in T&G purchased from members of the Turner family. Michael represented their shareholding and joined T&G’s Board of Directors. Michael then became the CEO of Turners Car Auctions from 1996 to 2005 and went on to being the Chairman until late 2014. Michael is still a director on T&G’s board today and the business thanks him for his many years of loyalty and service.
