About Us

Husband and wife owners of the company Mike and Lorraine Jeffcoat make a great team. And they bring a wealth of experience to Mercury Pots. While looking around for a business that would allow them to work together and utilise their individual strengths, they discovered Mercury Pots and quickly determined it was a great business with further potential. They became owners of the company in 2007.
The Mercury Pots team.

Since then they've been busy setting up a new warehouse in Papakura and expanding their team to include a couple of top-notch customer representatives. Mike and Lorraine thoroughly enjoy being part of Mercury Pots - whether they are knee-deep in pots at the warehouse or taking off to Italy to review the latest range, their days are busy and fulfilling.

Mike had an exciting career in finance before buying Mercury Pots. This business is quite different but he was delighted to find a business where he could indulge his passion for gardening. His hands-on approach works well - he's in charge of marketing, regularly supervises the warehouse and calls on a number of North Island clients. Mike says there's no better way to get to know your customers and stay in touch with the market.
