Murray Grey Newsbrief |
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all Murray Grey members to a new administration service provider.
When contacting the office please introduce yourself as a Murray Grey breeder and reception will direct your enquiry to the staff member who can assist you most quickly.
I trust that we at New Zealand Performance Beef Breeders will be able to provide you with an efficient and friendly service.
I would like to introduce to you two key personnel who you are most likely to be dealing with day to day.
Murray Meads, General Manager

Lindy has been with the Company for nine years and has a wealth of experience across all facets of our business.

Linda has been with the Company for eighteen years and is head of the Registry Team. Linda is responsible for the Angus, Simmental, Charolais, Limousin, South Devon, Romagnola and now Murray Grey BREEDPLAN accounts.
If you think this is a large work load – you are right!! Fortunately Linda has data entry assistance in her department. Linda is available from 8am – 4.30pm Monday to Friday and welcomes your recording queries.

Brett was born and bred in Palmerston North and lives with his partner Valda. Apart from a few years travelling overseas he has lived in Palmerston North all his life.
Brett has been involved with computer technology for about twelve years and has found it very interesting to be involved with the changes in the internet’s role over that time.
More recently Brett has been involved with some very large Internet projects including working with Land Information’s Survey and Land Title Database – one of the largest databases in New Zealand, and also as a Database and Systems Tutor at Massey University.
Brett has also trained formally, gaining a Bachelor of Science degree, and has completed a course at Massey University with the Department of Precision Agriculture studying satellite image analysis with a particular focus on local land types and flood damage analysis.
If anyone has any questions about the internet, databases or websites then feel free to contact Brett at the NZPBB Office.
