Peter Hines (16 years), Rob Presser (14 years), Michael Corbett (seven years) and Alex Murray (five years) were among the businesses nine awardees on Thursday night that were recognised and rewarded for their contribution to agricultural research.

Kalyx was launched five years ago as a result of the merger between a WA research company and an east coast research firm which has united some of the country’s most experienced agricultural researchers.

The team from the office in Young attended the event at Rutherglen where they joined the rest of the company’s southern region to celebrate the hard work and dedication of employees.

Kalyx director Peter Hamblin said he was thrilled to host the evening and paid tribute to the passionate and dedicated team who have all played an integral role in the growth and success of the company.
