KCGO BOARD APPOINTS NEW MANAGER

KCGO BOARD APPOINTS NEW MANAGER

With my pending retirement it gives me great pleasure to announce KCGO board has appointed David Paine to the position of manager. David would be well known to members not only as a current member/canefarmer himself but also through his previous role of many years as a Senior Field Officer with Burdekin Productivity Services. David will bring a wealth of industry experience to the role, commencing Monday 1st February 2021.

Whilst I have enjoyed my “almost” 4 years with Kalamia, which has given me the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of your industry, I am equally excited at the next chapter in my life of retirement. I would like to thank your board for putting their faith in me and giving me this opportunity as well as the lovely ladies in the office for their assistance during my time.

I would like to wish everyone all the best in the future.

Les Elphinstone

Manager KCGO
