Waldo de Klerk

Grower Liaison

Waldo de Klerk developed a passion for the macadamia industry after spending the last decade living on a macadamia farm. Prior to working at Marquis Macadamias, Waldo spent time honing his communications skills in the financial and legal industry. With the growth in macadamia sales globally on the increase, growers will need assistance and guidance to choose the correct channels for their macadamias, to ensure sustainable profits. This is where Waldo believes he will be able to make a difference, and where his passion lies.
