Australia’s leading industry-owned assurance standard for horticulture, Freshcare, has today announced the appointment of CEO, Benjamin Wash, following an extensive search that commenced in August.
“On behalf of the Freshcare board I am pleased to announce the appointment of Benjamin Wash,” said Freshcare Chair Allan Dall.
“The newly-created role ensures Freshcare is equipped and resourced to deliver on its continued commitment to be Australia’s leading certification for Australian Horticulture.”

Mr Wash joins Freshcare following successful finance and leadership roles across government, the not-for-profit sector and industry, including as former CEO of Taxi Council QLD.
