The late Brian Earp with SIKIG’s Julien Pedelucq.<br />
The bilateral scholarship programme is in honour <strong>of</strong> Brian<br />
Earp, <strong>Apata</strong>’s Founding Director, who was a man <strong>of</strong> vision<br />
and foresight with a hunger for learning and innovation.<br />
He was a person who shared his skills, looked out for his<br />
neighbours and colleagues and had no fear <strong>of</strong> the future.<br />
He played such a key role in the evolution <strong>of</strong> this business<br />
– and the industry.<br />
Both the Earp and the Pedelucq families are delighted<br />
with this initiative to facilitate and enhance grower and<br />
post-harvest competencies and knowledge to improve<br />
performance and quality.<br />
The first exchange will take place in November this year,<br />
with an <strong>Apata</strong> employee travelling to France to work at<br />
SIKIG for six weeks.
