Director Appointment – Marise James



Allied Farmers (Allied Farmers, NZX: ALF) is pleased to announce that the ALF Board has

appointed Marise James as a director of ALF with effect from 1 October 2018.


Marise James is a chartered accountant and partner at Staples Rodway in Taranaki, where

she services agri sector and professional services clients. She has also had a lengthy

career in governance, serving as a founding director of Fonterra Co-operative Group, and

directorships of FMG Insurance Limited, Landcorp Farming Limited and the TSB Bank. She

has chaired the Audit Committees of FMG and Landcorp. Her current governance roles

include Chair of Firstlight Wagyu NZ Limited, and directorships of EIDNZ Limited and the

Taranaki Rugby Football Union.


Marise was admitted as a fellow to the NZ Institute of Directors in April 2014 and also

received a fellowship from the NZ Society of Accountants (now CAANZ) in December 2014.


Marise, and her husband Bryn, spent 20 years working in the dairy industry, starting as farm

workers, progressing to sharemilkers and eventually their own dairy farm from 1995 to

2008. They won the National Sharemilker of the Year competition in 1994 and Marise was

awarded a Nuffield Scholarship in 1998. Today, they jointly own a dairy farm in North

Taranaki, as well as a dairy grazing block in Tikorangi.


The Board has determined that Marise is an independent director. Marise will stand for

election at the 27 November 2018 Annual Meeting, with the full endorsement of the Board.
