Pick of the Bunch: Daniel

Posted on

The juice is fresh, but the team behind it? Even fresher.

Introducing Pick of the Bunch, where we spotlight the people who make Picky...well, Picky. 

From juice & smoothie obsessives to perfectionist planners, this crew lives and breathes bold flavors, bright ideas, and the relentless pursuit of liquid greatness.

Stay tuned as we peel back the curtain (and maybe an orange or two) to share their stories, quirks, and what keeps them squeezing every drop of passion into Picky.

Obsessed? Us too.

 


Meet Daniel, our IT guy. Whether it’s a rogue printer throwing a tantrum or someone forgetting their password again, he’s the one we call. Calm, clever, and sun smart - #SPF50.

Each evening wraps with his signature “goodnight” to the team.

 

The pick of the bunch? Without question, so we asked him some Picky questions:

 

Can you introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your role?

Hi, I’m Daniel the IT guy and I look after everything that goes beep boop and sometimes errrrrr@$%! at Apollo


Tell us about your connection to the Hawke’s Bay region. What makes this place special to you? 

I was born and raised in Hawke’s Bay and will never leave.  It will always be home to me.


When you think of Hawke’s Bay, what local ingredients or foods come to mind? 

Funnily enough, apples, because I live next to orchards.  But all things fresh produce.


What does a typical day look like for you?

Plan my day and then struggle to stick to the plan (beep boop errrrrr@$%!)


What’s one thing you love about living or working in Hawke’s Bay?

Less distance to travel anywhere, good opportunity to take a bike.



Quick-fire questions. 

Pick three words to describe yourself when you were 13. Care-free, quiet(er), energetic.

What’s the most normal thing you can think of? Eating.

Trampoline, chatter rings or climbing trees? Climbing trees, did that just last week.
