Our People

Are you ready to play on our team?

We’re a NZ owned company, trading all over the world with a single purpose: To make caring for animals easier.

It’s pretty awesome being part of a household name in the agriculture and vet sectors. But, better than that, making a positive impact on animal wellbeing is an incredibly rewarding career purpose. And being able to do this in a close team environment is even better. Want more? How about an office pantry, Friday drinks and Monday to Friday office hours?

Our culture is strong because we’ve figured out that being together in our workplace is when we’re at our Peak Performance.
