Management Team

Peter Collins - Managing Director

As Company founder, Peter Collins has significant and extensive experience in the agribusiness and forest industries and represents the fifth generation of the pioneering Collins family in the Green Triangle region. He has established diversified businesses in grazing, forestry and food processing and has contributed to local, regional and state development in various voluntary capacities.

 

When Peter expanded his enterprises into forestry and plantation management in 1994 he saw an opportunity to develop Plantation Timbers into an enterprise servicing a range of clients with investments in pine and eucalypt plantations in the Green Triangle region.

His vision has provided investors with a means of establishing and managing their own sustainable forestry enterprise under Plantation Timbers’ umbrella.
