The 49 year-old company that continues to evolve

Amongst the craziness of 2021, our team grew! We gained three new valued Bayonet staff members – Wayne Hurunui, Andrew Arnott, and Felicity Klein Ovink.

Wayne was appointed Sales Account Manager for Central and Lower North Island. Growing up on a Hawke’s Bay sheep station was the start of Wayne’s life-long love for farming and rural life, and he has been serving in the rural industry ever since.

Based in Dunedin, Andrew is the new Sales Account Manager for the Lower South Island. With over 30 years’ experience in Account Management and Customer Service, he’s worked in a variety of Sales roles dealing with customers from all walks of life including many in the rural sector.

As Sales Account Managers, Wayne and Andrew are responsible for looking after and building strong relationships with customers throughout the country, while delivering exceptional communication, organisation, and business acumen skills. These additional Sales Reps will allow greater accessibility and availability to visit customers across all nooks of New Zealand.
