Manager Intermax.
Lindsay & Terrie Wells were recognised
for their excellent contribution to Intermax's export
persimmon program this season. During 2003 Valley View
supplied nearly 50% of Intermax's total supply with
outstanding quality. Based in Kamo, Northland Valley
View Orchards packed our first season of YESS brand
persimmons which was a great success.
Our congratulations to all the recipients
and we look forward to working with you again in the
coming seasons.
