RAINE & Horne Rural Sydney has appointed Andrew Gordon and James Menzies to its sales and advisory team.
Co-principal Andrew Tout said the appointments were timely with drought conditions appearing to break across Australia.
“We expect to see a fair bit of liquidity in the rural property markets, after some activity was previously deferred because it’s just been too dry,” Tout said. “Now is the right time to get the right results for our vendors and Andrew and James have been added to the team to give us more scope to service our vendors.”
With more than 25 years’ experience in the agricultural industry, Gordon started his career in a mixed family farming enterprise at Cudal in the central west of NSW. Until recently, he was also a partner in a mixed farming enterprise at Condobolin on the Lachlan River.
“Andrew spent 12 years as an agribusiness development manager with the NSW Government, leading programs that supported business ventures throughout the Central West region of the state,” Tout said.
Most recently employed by ANZ as an agribusiness manager, Gordon’s resume includes a stint as a contract economic development manager with Lachlan Shire Council in Condobolin.
Menzies was originally from the Scottish Highlands and he is a farm management graduate of the highly regarded RAC Cirencester. He is an agri-food marketing and business management graduate from the Harper Adams Agricultural College.
