"Kiwifruit Investments were thorough, concise and kind in their communication. From the moment I walked into their offices I was greeted with kindness and care. The training was informative and engaging whilst communicating their care for their staff. I would like to recommend and commend Kiwifruit Investments for what they have set up in the form of a working environment that knows the importance of exhibiting kindness while maintaining high quality standards in the Kiwifruit industry.
Kind regards,

"K.I should stand for Kind Investments. From the moment you walk in the office doors you are treated with respect and welcomed as though you are family. Your well-being is priority to all the team members, you are not just an expendable worker. Michelle is one of the most unique Employers to work with, she is always there to support you genuinely and has the most approachable personality. Our team was supervised by Delwyn, wow, such a kind and giving soul who never complains and supports the pickers in a perfect and motivating manner, thank you so much Delwyn. To Matt, Fiona and our tractor drivers, endless appreciation to all your hard work! To anyone thinking of joining Kiwifruit Investments - it would be an unforgettable experience".
