This week Oli had two guests join him on the Humans of Agriculture Podcast! Lachie Knight and Ned Olsson from Clipex met up with Oli during the 2023 AgQuip Field Days. Clipex is a family business which started in manufacturing a solution for fencing and then expanded into other livestock handling equipment. They now have businesses across the globe in the likes of Ireland and Uruguay.
Ned's family established Clipex and Lachie has since joined the team. The trio touch on the following:
- Lachie's upbringing with his Dad running cattle throughout Eastern Australia while his Mum was building a career focusing on the people element of succession planning
- How the Olsson's developed the fencing product and left the family farm to establish the business
- Neds' family unit and how each member is gifted and able to contribute to the business in their own way
- Working with international manufacturers and engineers
- Ned's passion for business, even as a kid
- Lachie's connection with customers and what he defines as 'solution driven outcomes'
- What advice Lachie and Ned have for young people looking at a career in agriculture
"So we're Swedish background and we always say it's the Viking that comes out in us... We're up for a fight and a bit of a challenge. I suppose always grew up as a kid in our family that if there's a problem, it's just because there's a solution waiting to be found." - Ned
