Kiwifruit Vine Health (KVH) has announced today that current Chief Executive Stu Hutchings will leave the organisation in April to take up the role of Biosecurity New Zealand’s Chief Biosecurity Officer.   

Stu joined KVH in April 2018, coming to the kiwifruit industry from the world of animal health, and says in his three years at the helm he has been particularly impressed with the leadership demonstrated across the industry, able to tackle big and difficult issues while focusing on what is best for growers.
