Growcom chief executive Alex Livingstone has announced his departure from the Australian horticulture body that represents Queensland growers.
Livingstone joined Growcom in 2005, taking on the role as CEO in 2008, during which time he has worked to develop industrial relations, and assist in damage assessments and recovery efforts for Queensland's horticulture industry following natural disasters in the state.
“We thank Alex for his efforts in building Growcom’s reputation with government at all levels and in its pivotal role in representing Queensland horticultural growers’ interests,” Growcom chairman Jonathan Shaw said.
Pat Hannan will succeed Livingston as CEO, bringing experience in state and Commonwealth primary industry departments, as we;; as consulting work for private and not-for-profit companies.
“Pat has a history of developing strong, productive relationships with all stakeholders, both internal and external, and is enthusiastic about pursuing the challenges of securing Growcom’s future,” Shaw said.
