Hi, I’m Grant Paterson, a proud third-generation attendee of Hamilton Boys’ High School and honoured to serve as a trustee, giving back to a school that has contributed so much to our community. Since leaving school, I’ve built a career in the agriculture industry, including many years working with thoroughbreds, farm ownership, and now in animal nutrition as Waikato Area Manager for Nutritech International. My wife and I have two daughters and a son, and most weekends are happily spent on the sidelines supporting kids’ sport.

My favourite teacher at HBHS was Mr Godsiff. He was a great agriculture teacher and shared a great deal of practical life advice, which set me up well for a successful career in the agriculture sector.
