Fox & Lillie Rural has just welcome two additions to their Wagga team, Rob Leak and Rachel Ward.

Rob has joined the team as a wool buyer and marketing representative.

Rob has worked in the wool industry all his life, gaining experience in all facets from producer, shearer and wool and sheep classer.

Rachael joins Fox & Lillie Rural as a store person.

Completing her agricultural studies at CSU Wagga and attaining her wool classing certificate a few years ago, Rachel has worked in shearing sheds and wool stores around the area.

With the two new additions to the team, Hayden Klimpsch has transitioned to a new role within the company as a wool buyer and marketing representative after spending the last three years in the store at Wagga, learning the ropes.

In other news, Fox & Lillie Rural Wagga has donated 10 bales of wool to a charity auction conducted by the Mick Manion Wool Industry Foundation.

The foundation was set up by Mick Manion before his passing four years ago to help disadvantaged kids in the bush.

The wool went under the hammer in Melbourne at the final sale last week, before the mid-year sale recess.

Amazing generosity from the entire industry saw over $100,000 raised for the foundation from the charity auction of 69 bales.

Some of the funds raised will go towards supporting Henty family and valued Fox & Lillie Rural clients, Jason and Cath Singe and their eight-year-old daughter Annie, who was born with a giant congenital melanocytic nevus (large birthmark), a one in a million chance.

Annie’s nevus covered one-third of her torso at birth.

While she has had over 50 operations in her short life, treatment is ongoing and Fox & Lillie was pleased to contribute to in some small way to make Annie’s life a little more enjoyable.
