After a long career in various raw material trading roles, Kerry started Pure Ingredients Limited in 2006. From its small beginnings the business has grown under his stewardship to be a significant supplier in its sector, and continues to grow strongly year by year. Kerry has created a company culture centred on high service standards and sound business ethics, that respects its suppliers, its customers and its staff, and that puts long-term relationships ahead of short-term profits.

Jamie started with us on the warehouse floor in 2012, and has worked his way up to his present position as General Manager. He has a “ground up” understanding of our business and brings commercial common-sense, a strong customer service ethic and a practical “can do” attitude to his role. Outside of work, the Waiheke Island native can be found fishing in the Hauraki Gulf, playing footy or just enjoying time with his two young boys.

Grant heads up our finance team and joined us with 35 years of accounting background. After 12 years in Business Services and Consulting at Deloittes, he has worked in the corporate departments in several large NZ companies while his most recent roles were more focused on trading and operational performance. With the growth Pure Ingredients has experienced and is wanting to continue, Grant is well suited to ensure the support systems and reporting develops in line with the growth.

As HR & Administration Manager, Sue’s role covers everything from HR and payroll through to purchasing and processing overseas orders.

Flo has been with Pure Ingredients since 2016. She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy. Her previous extensive work experience has been in clinical/pharmaceutical compounding, analytical/laboratory and QA/regulatory roles, both in NZ and internationally, prior to joining us having spent several years in a senior QA role with a GMP manufacturer of medical herbal extracts.

Maria is a key member of our QA team, with 20 years’ experience in various QA roles in the food and cosmetic industries. She has a Bachelor of Science in Food Technology, training in GMP and HACCP/FSP, and experience in formulating natural cosmetic products.

With a bark worse than his bite, Forrest exudes charm–most days!
