Mr. Barry Sandford, Esq. from Melbourne, Australia is our first Patron of Hemp Technologies.

Barry has 35+ years hands-on experience of sales and marketing of building materials and has helped numerous people design and complete their remodels, renovations and new construct projects as well as hire and train staff in the building industry.

In addition to his kind patronage Mr. Sandford has agreed to mentor our sales team in Australasia.



RBodley
Dr. Roger Bodley is an English medical graduate who came to Tasmania in 1976 and worked there for 6 years before returning to train as a radiologist. Worked in Oxford and Stoke Mandeville Hospital (which includes the National Spinal Injuries Centre, home of The Paralympics) and after retirement from the NHS returned part time to the beautiful NW Coast of Tasmania to work, teach and to build a home on Table Cape. Having come across hempcrete at the London exhibition Ecobuild in 2008 I decided that my house was to be a showcase for this exciting material. The last few years have seen the slow realisation of that idea.



Andy Kim2
Andy Kim, 29, is from Portland, Oregon and received his Bachelors in Psychology at Portland State University, with a focus in Industrial & Organisational Psychology. After college, Andy focused on green buildings and sustainable building materials. He made connections within the industry and is now working with many industry professionals in bringing commercialisation to innovative, low carbon building systems, to the Pacific Northwest.

Andy enjoys Oregon summer’s, skiing, hiking, fishing, outdoor activities, learning new things and listening to live music.



Robert Eady
Robert Eady, 61, B.Sc (chem) from Auckland University worked initially as a works chemist in the fertilizer industry before leaving NZ in 1977 to travel abroad and work in the oil and gas industry as a drilling fluids engineer. Currently living in Whangarei, Robert works in Australia. Rob’s interests are mainly alternative, including a long-standing interest in hemp that now finds expression as a result of a 'chance' meeting with Greg Flavall on a Taranaki oil rig. It is exciting to be a part of such an excellent and overdue initiative that promises much for the people of New Zealand, and elsewhere.

He taught Thai social studies there and has written and published a history of the area’s ancient kingdom of Lanna.
