Description
Join host Oli Le Lievre as he chats with Samantha (Sam) Wan, an Australian wool broker based in Melbourne. There's something about wool that gets people so energised and Sam is no exception. This episode was recorded from the Hamilton Sheepvention, so we hope you're forgiving of some faint background noise! While recording, Oli was huddled around a heater while Sam was nice and warm in her Elders water-proof woollen jacket!!
Episode Highlights:
- Sam's journey from a non-agricultural background and what sparked her passion for wool
- An insight into international wool markets and the global appreciation for Aussie wool
- Elder's new wool handling facility and the integration of automation in the wool supply chain
- Mentoring the next generation and the opportunities in agriculture
