The Directors of Basically Bush Ltd

Steve

Steve has been in the pest control, and fur and skin recovery business since 1977 and was fulltime trapping in the days when a good skin could fetch $24.

Steve was instrumental in developing possum control courses initially in association with the Taskforce Green programmes. Tairawhiti Polytechnic in Gisborne soon became the training provider, making the courses available to anyone who wished to undertake them. They proved to be a sound beginning for those who enjoy being outdoors and who wished to enter the animal pest control industry. Steve also works in association with Connovation, a company who develop, manufacture and distribute a wide range of pest control products.

Sue

Way back in 1978 Sue joined Steve deep in the Waioeka bush for 16 months fulltime trapping. She has turned more than her share of possum tails over the years.

After a full time nursing career and raising a family, Sue is back in the possum business.

Sue co-ordinates the business side of Basically Bush Ltd, as well as actively buying fur in the Bay of Plenty region.
