Three years of ownership under Tom & Kate today.
There’s been learning on the job, sleepless nights, moments of doggy paddling in the deep end, and plenty of pressure behind the scenes; but every challenge has helped shape the company PMR is today.
What we’ve built over the last three years is something we’re incredibly proud of… and that still feels like an understatement. Grateful to our team, customers, suppliers, friends and family who have backed us along the way. Bring it on 👏🏻
It is with great excitement that we announce the change of ownership of PMR Grain Systems. Paul and Caroline Whitbread have owned PMR for the past 18 years and have done a tremendous job in serving Mid Canterbury and afar with crop storage and feed systems. They are now looking forward to a more relaxed lifestyle on their latest endeavour - French Farm Winery on the Banks Peninsula. Paul will remain within the company with his wealth of knowledge he holds.
Tom and Kate Burke are the proud new owners of PMR Grain Systems. Many of you will know Tom already, as he began at PMR six years ago as an engineer and for the past few years has worked as the General Manager of the company. Tom is excited to embark on his new role and add his own touch to the company.
Tom and Kate live locally in Hinds and have two young children that attend the local school and preschool. In their spare time they enjoy family activities outdoors and various sports pursuits.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with our current clients and meeting new clients.
For now it is business as usual and should you have any questions, please give Tom a call on +64275146606, or phone the office (03) 303 7266.
