Richard Clarke
Richard has had more than 20 years of experience in the seafood business, where he has gained extensive knowledge of fish markets around the world. Richard is a Kiwi (meaning New Zealander, not the bird or fruit) and spends a large portion of his time trying to locate the best seafood deals available, whether in New Zealand or from around the globe.
When not busy working for his valued clients or suppliers, Richard enjoys spending time with his wife Claire, 2 sons, Nicholas & Andrew and his daughter Diana. Occasionally, Richard manages to find a spare Saturday or Sunday to enjoy a relaxing game of golf. Other pastimes include following the All Blacks rugby team and family trips to Lake Taupo for a bit of fishing and relaxation.
During her 7 years in the seafood industry, Rawinia Amaru continues to enjoy the variety she experiences with her work and the fact that each and every order provides something different. Although fairly easy going, Rawinia fully understands the importance of ensuring that all aspects of an order are correct and meet the necessary requirements.
Although Rawinia grew up in Wellington, she now calls Tauranga her home, where she enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle and a lot less wind. In her spare time, Rawinia enjoys playing softball and being a spectator in sports such as rugby and netball. One of Rawinia's favourite pastimes is traveling, with trips already completed to Australia, Japan, and a one-year extended trip to the USA, which she still considers to be a major highlight of her life.
