NICK HOOGERBRUG

Line Manager

I’ve been in and out of Zeafruit since 2015 working in various roles –  Mostly in the operational side. This has given me an extensive overview of the business as a whole and the bigger picture of what we’re trying to achieve. I grew up on an apple and kiwifruit orchard in Gisborne, so horticulture flows in my veins. Pre-Covid I’ve managed to sneak in a few O.E’S and ski seasons as a powder hound in Canada – working in retail with winter gear. I’m stoked to be back on board as the Line Manager at our packhouse in Gisborne, leading a strong core team of local talent who go above and beyond. We do our utmost to provide the best packing service and value for our grower suppliers, whilst ensuring a high quality product is presented to our customers.

When I’m not in the packhouse, you can find me ripping up waves at the local surfing breaks
