Coonawarra Vignerons announces new executive officer
April 20th, 2021
The Coonawarra Vignerons have appointed Ockert Le Roux as its new executive officer, following the resignation of Olivia James from the position in January. Currently a lead manager in the Marketing and Operations division for OneFortyOne in Mount Gambier, Le Roux will assume the new role this coming May.
Le Roux has extensive experience in management, marketing and finances. Between 2008 and 2012, Ockert was instrumental in developing hardwood chip-export facilities in Western Australia and Victoria. He was also responsible for negotiating the hardwood export price for Australia with Japan.
In 2014 he relocated to Mount Gambier from Melbourne, where he currently resides with his wife and three daughters. He spent a year assisting the South Australian Government with their forward sale of its softwood assets in the Green Triangle.

There are no tissues on the table, and I’ve forgotten to get a glass of water – because while I’ve previously met my therapist face-to-face in a serene office, successive lockdowns mean that, like everything else, mental health support has largely moved online.
More of us than ever sought out therapy during the past year, with NHS waiting lists lengthening daily, and private psychotherapists fielding a barrage of enquiries. According to a survey by the Royal College of Psychiatrists last May, 43 per cent of its members had seen an ‘alarming’ increase in urgent referrals since the Covid outbreak. And earlier this month, a University of Oxford study found that not only has the pandemic taken a toll on mental health across the board, but that 34 per cent of Covid survivors are at greater risk of anxiety and mood disorders.
