Clients include government agencies, strategic food consultancies and private sector investors. Entities associated with Dairy Link founder Earl Rattray have successfully invested in multiple dairy farming companies, both in New Zealand and offshore. Current interests include shareholdings in one of New Zealand's largest pastoral farming businesses, with a farming subsidiary in the USA, and in Chile’s largest dairy farming company.
