Irrigation New Zealand has been involved in the development of Good Farming Practice: Action Plan for Water Quality which will be launched tomorrow. Sally Rae talks to Irrigation NZ chief executive Andrew Curtis about water — and his varied career.
Andrew Curtis has no interest in "getting back to old Blighty".
The affable English-born chief executive of Irrigation New Zealand (INZ) is happily settled in Canterbury with his family.
Mr Curtis' stint in the country was initially only expected to be temporary — on the way back to the UK from a year in Australia — but morphed into residency.
His role was a good fit for his skill-set which included a varied involvement in the primary sector.
