“
Winning the award helped propel our system to the market both domestically and internationally, which was particularly helpful this year with the limits on international tradeshows and the standard transmission of information. It is exciting to see our new colostrum management system adopted so quickly by our progressive farmers here and abroad.

Young Innovator of the year award
St Paul's Collegiate School
“
My group and I entered the Young Inventor of the year award, previously coming second we stepped it up a gear for 2020. Taking out the award was surreal, I feel it will benefit all of us from a business and career perspective for the rest of our lives. Moving forward from Fieldays, we are currently in our closing stages of setting up ‘Flash Flow Ltd’. Our products will be available in Waikato from 2021. From here we will look to expand nationally and hopefully even globally.
