SCOTTIE CHAPMAN Managing Director scott@gho.co.nz

Scottie affectionately refers to himself as a Mainlander from Tokyo. Having grown up on a 2000 hectare sheep and cattle farm in the Waitaki Valley of the South Island of New Zealand, he secured a business degree at Otago University and then spent the next 13 years cultivating a career in Asia, based in Japan. 

Fluent in Japanese, Scottie held senior management positions in Zespri Japan, Exel Japan and Heinz Watties Japan. For all his love of foreign multi-cultural adventure, his return to New Zealand was long overdue and a Directorship at Redwood Cellars, with primary responsibility for Sales and Marketing has been the perfect challenge.  Scottie's expatriate experience enables Redwood Cellars to instil a global "best practices" into a local company.
