Joining forces with people who care.

Growing partnerships that matter.

Ranging from family-owned businesses to industry-leading corporations, we love our clients because they share our vision to grow something that matters, and our desire to challenge the status quo. We build lasting relationships that make an impact, and we are always looking to partner with like-minded clients across New Zealand.

VIT MANAGEMENT"Hortus has an established team of experts who understand my business and communicate effectively throughout the season. Hortus has recruited, trained and retained first-class RSE employees who approach their work professionally and diligently. Working with Hortus is a real benefit to my business and I highly recommend using them."

PERNOD RICARD“For more than a decade, Hortus has been a true partner and supported us when we have had pressure on our work program. The success of our relationship comes from their collaborative, flexible and professional approach. Consistently delivering a high-quality and reliable service, the team is incredibly easy to work with. "

QUATTOUR VINEYARD"Working with AJ and the Hortus team, we are impressed with the level of service and professionalism, which has been refined and adapted as the company has grown. The team is more than happy to discuss and listen to your requirements, which makes dealing with them a pleasure, whilst delivering an excellent result."

FAIRFIELD ORCHARDS "It’s great to have good relationships with joint partners. We needed additional staff to help re-thin apple & kiwifruit that had been badly affected by a hail storm. After unsuccessfully trying to get our own RSE staff back early from other partners, we reached out to Hortus, who were more than happy to rearrange their workforce to assist us."

SPRING CREEK VINTNERS"Hortus has been great to deal with, we certainly have no complaints. The team is absolutely customer focused and gets on with the job without fuss or bother. Hortus always works with us, adapting to our last-minute changes whilst retaining a positive, can-do attitude."

WELDS HILL"I am really impressed with the professional, streamlined way in which Hortus operates. The RSE workers are well cared for, well trained and happy. They work efficiently and leave a high-quality job. Their dedication is obvious and leads to good results, which makes operating my vineyard so much easier for me and my staff. "

TUPARI"Having worked with Hortus for the best part of 10 years, I have a high level of trust in the company. Hortus takes a long-term view of their relationships, they care for their team, and they achieve excellent results come harvest time."

CLOUDY BAY"Hortus understands our desire for attention to detail and high-quality work, and this is evident at all levels. We benefit from their open communication, dependability, and commitment to deliver. Hortus has high standards when it comes to welfare of their workers, and their long-term vision for providing quality service."

Making a difference.
