Richard transitioned from dairy farming to real estate with PGG Wrightson in 2016, seeking a lifestyle change to spend more time with his family.

“I wanted a career that allowed me to enjoy my children as they grew up. Real estate seemed like a part-time option at first, but it quickly became a full-time commitment. It’s more than just a sales job—it’s about understanding and empathising with the challenges faced by farmers today.”

Richard values the corporate support at PGG Wrightson without the constraints of micromanagement.

“The company provides the support you need while letting you manage your own business. We have the freedom to work within a respected rural brand and be part of a great team.”
