MEET THE HOST OF THE HFG PODCAST
Martin is the Group Marketing Manager at Hunt Forest Group. And has many years of experience working behind the camera on video and photographic projects. The HFG podcast is Martin’s first foray into the world of digital audio and the first as a host! With an eclectic taste in Podcasts – from Rewilding and Conservation to Pro Wrestling and Cricket, The HFG Podcast is a blend of the latest industry news, machinery offerings, technology developments mixed in with everyday life at a large agricultural dealership.
The HFG Podcast was created out of Martin’s desire to do something a little different. To showcase all of the amazing and interesting technology and machinery we offer as a mixed industry dealership. And to be an outlet for our staff to share their past experiences and extensive knowledge of farming, grounds care and more.
