Sue Taylor

Office Leader 

Born in South Taranaki, I spent my childhood and teenage years in Central and North Taranaki, respectively. Growing up on a dairy farm with my parents instilled in me a deep appreciation for the rural lifestyle. I attended small country primary schools and high school in Waitara, all the while being actively involved in farm life.

After leaving school, I embarked on a career in banking. Later, I spent 12 years on a 200-acre lifestyle property in Uruti, where I raised four children while actively participating in various community committees, often serving as treasurer.

Following this, I transitioned into dairy farming for 17 years, later shifting my focus to beef breeding and fattening bulls and steers. During this period, I had two more children and continued my involvement in community committees and Rural Women.

Thirteen years ago, I moved to town and joined the construction industry. In January 2025, I started working at the New Zealand Grazing Company.

My husband and I relish the freedom of urban living, enjoying leisurely weekends filled with coffee, sports, and motorsports, particularly the Australian/NZ Supercars.

In my free time, I participate in powerlifting, where I hold a GPC world record for the single lift squat in my age and weight class.

I am thoroughly enjoying my current role at New Zealand Grazing, where I feel supported and valued.

Jodi Williamson

Adminstrator

I grew up on a sheep and beef farm and now live in Kaimata on an 8-acre lifestyle block with husband Aaron and our one-year-old daughter, Ava. We usually rear a handful of beef calves each year and are slowly renovating our house – there’s always something that needs doing so that keeps
us busy.

I spent my youth on horseback; competing nationally (once internationally) in Western Riding and have served on the local club committee for several years, with a stint as President as well. I also love dogs and have competed as much as possible in agility events across the North Island. I have had a bit of a hiatus since having our daughter, so I am looking forward to getting back into it as soon as I can. Hopefully Ava will enjoy coming along as well.

If I find myself with any spare time, I love to sit down with a good book or movie and a cold beverage or two.

As the newest member of the team I have enjoyed the variety of work and good hearted banter of all members of the company.
