Kerry Tate

Kerry has been involved in the meat industry for 35 years, starting way back in 1984 in Whanganui as a dry goods clerk at Tenderkist Meats to where he’s now today, as a sales and procurement manager with RTC Foods. For the last nearly 20 years he has been a trader and focused predominantly on the pacific region, a region he has a love and passion for. As a trader, his job is to provide the service that the suppliers and customers need assisting in any way he can.

Kerry’s biggest passions are rugby, family, rock music and concerts. When not at work, he loves to spend time with his family – wife, adult children and grandchildren. He also enjoys travelling to Koh Samui in Thailand. Kerry is also an avid sports fan across many sports. Number one is rugby starting at the grassroots level with club rugby where most Saturdays he’s out supporting the local club team, going all the way through to supporting the mighty All Blacks.
