The Team

Grant Pemberton, Managing Director/Owner

Firstly thank you for taking the time to consider us as a business partner and looking around this website. Business is never easy with such a small population base but hopefully we can assist you with our industry knowledge and networks that we have built up over the years.

Personally I feel very fortunate to head up a team with award winning expertise in the Supermarket Industry. I been in involved in sales and the Grocery Industry for some 30 odd years now. Starting at the ground floor packing Groceries at Foodtown Manukau, then going on to complete their inhouse trainee Management program. This has given me a sound understanding of the way the Supermarkets industry works. After deciding to jump on the supplier side of the fence I have worked my way through the industry having done a few corporate roles within Goodman Fielder and lastly Healtheries of NZ.  I feel I have wealth of knowledge that I can share but I'm still learning a lot as the market continually develops and changes. My passion is building strong trade relationships based on integrity and trust and helping people grow businesses. Not to blow my own trumpet but I was fortunate enough to have won multiple industry awards during my time of doing business with the key NZ retailers.

I am married to Chrissy and we have 1 gorgeous child, Ella who is 16 years old.

My personal mantra is "how can I help? and how do we go about making that happen!"
