Alby Newell
Commercial Manager

I live in, and have been a part of, the Tararua District for 40 years. After 10 years of dairy farming, I worked as a Technical Field Officer in the rural retail industry, a job I held for 10 years. My role focuses on animal health and providing a service of advice to Tararua Veterinary Service’s clients.

Ellie Joselyn
Business Support

I have always been very passionate about animals, particularly animal welfare but when I moved onto a dairy farm this interest grew and I’ve already learnt so much about the dairy industry and the farming lifestyle. This passion and knowledge combined with my long-term customer service experience made my role as a business support person here fit perfectly. When I’m not at work you’ll find me writing, lazing around at home, out on the farm or hanging out with my 4 legged best friend, Ollie!
