Haygrove Team

We are a demanding but exciting business made up of strong (and often quirky!) personalities. Our fast pace and open approach is not for everyone but if we ‘get it’, get involved and always give 110%, you’ll find yourself part of a fantastic family who inspire and challenge each other to constantly improve and have a lot of fun.

Haygrove Executive Management

Mark Pritchett

Managing Director

After studying Horticulture and Agriculture economics at Stellenbosch University, Mark spent 3 years travelling through the USA, Australia and England. Work during these years included farming with cherries in Michigan, citrus in Florida, wine making in California, bee keeping in Hawaii, apples in Victoria, vegetables in Queensland and operating a combine harvester in the UK.

These travels eventually led mark managing a strawberry farm for 4 years in Herefordshire, UK. The farm had 20 hectares covered with Haygrove tunnels. After moving back to South Africa in 2002 Haygrove South Africa was born. In the early days Mark was responsible for all Haygrove activities including managing stock, hoop bending loading of trucks, tunnel construction, sales and sales support.

Mark enjoys mountain biking and wildlife photography.
