Mike Jeffcoat
Procurer of Pots
Covering Turangi to Auckland, and Auckland to Doubtless Bay
Mike had an exciting career in finance before buying Mercury Pots with his wife Lorraine. This business was quite different to what he was used to, but he was delighted to find a business where he could indulge his passion for gardening.
His hands-on approach works well – Mike coordinates and manages container shipments from Italy and China, goes to international fairs to find the latest products for the following season, manages several marketing initiatives for the business, and calls on a number of North Island clients.

Lorraine is an avid gardener and takes pride in delivering exceptional service to her Auckland-based clients.

Kelly Hunt
Office Manager of Pots
Kelly joined the Mercury Pots team in 2013 when, as a result of steady and consistent business growth, more hands were needed. In her previous role as a legal secretary, Kelly perfected her highly organised and professional approach which ensures orders are filled and the office runs like a well-oiled machine.

Kelly is the daughter of Lorraine and Mike Jeffcoat, and when she is not keeping the office in tip top shape, she is kept busy raising two small children with her husband Sheridan.
