Cherrycorp will be managed by Sunharvest Orchards, Ltd, whose directors are Mr F. B. McKenzie, managing
director of Alliance Textiles, Ltd, chairman of Angora Corporation, a director of Freesia Meats, Ltd, and a director of a number of private companies, Mr I. McN. Douglas, a Dunedin lawyer, Mr A. J. McPherson, a Central Otago orchard developer, who will be the company’s managing director, and Mr G. A. McDonald, a Roxburgh orchardist.
The directors plan to develop the orchard over a two year period, planting several varieties of fruit, including apricots and apples, as well as the cherry block.
