The most recent PDMA-NZ meeting, held on May 12, was kindly hosted by Simpson-Grierson in their excellent conference facility overlooking Auckland Harbour.

Over 50 people, from a wide cross section of representatives from industry, government and university, attended the meeting.

Guest speaker was Dr Jeremy Hill, Chief Technology Officer for Fonterra. Jeremy presented a comprehensive insight into Fonterra’s R&D organisation and practices, supported by case studies from various company business units. Subsequent feedback on the venue, the catering and the guest speaker voted the evening a great success.
