Bio
Salvador Potter
Rob joined PGRO when I was Chief Executive in September 2010. He was a mature, level-headed and diligent individual from the outset, and has performed consistently well over his 10+ years in a variety of technical roles, working effectively for several senior managers. In addition he's taken on the vitally important responsibility as Health & Safety Officer at PGRO. Rob is a likeable, reliable person with a good sense of humour. I would recommend him to any employer in the horticultural/agricultural technical sectors.
