Long-standing industry name and Elders Executive General Manager National & Victoria/Riverina, Malcolm Hunt, has this month retired from the company to devote more time to family and other pursuits.
Mr Hunt leaves an admirable legacy after serving the agribusiness sector since 1979 and Elders for over thirty years. He served on the boards of AWEX, Livestock Markets Ltd in South Australia and AWH Ltd.
Mr Hunt commenced his career in 1979 as a trainee at Australian Estates in Melbourne and says he fondly remembers working with woolgrowers and pastoralists throughout Victoria, NSW, South Australia and Tasmania.
“I have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful people, staff and clients, in this great Australian industry. I consider it a privilege to have been able to play a part in Elders’ resurgence over this past decade,” said Mr Hunt.
Elders Managing Director & CEO Mark Allison says Mr Hunt was instrumental in the turn around of Elders through the implementation of the company’s Eight Point Plan strategies.
“Under Malcolm’s leadership in the zones and the network, Elders have achieved extraordinary growth and welcomed many new talented people into the business,” Mr Allison said.
“He rightly occupies a statesman like leadership position within Elders and the industry more broadly. He is not only a colleague, but a part of the Elders family, who has made a significant contribution to us for many years.”
