Regional Post Harvest Manager - Central
Regional Post Harvest Manager - Central
Born and bred in Te Puke, Michelle began working in the kiwifruit industry from an early age on the family orchard and then in a packhouse during her senior years of high school. Michelle joined Seeka in 2011 as a seasonal worker, working in tray prep before becoming a permanent employee in 2015, when she took on the role of Assistant Packhouse Manager. From there Michelle worked her way up, taking on a 10-month secondment in Kerikeri in 2018, before returning to Oakside in 2019 as Site Manager. Michelle worked closely with Lance Tasker, the previous Post-Harvest Manager for the central region, taking over from Lance when he retired in December of 2023.
Michelle loves the fast pace of the harvest/packing season and working with all the different people and personalities you meet throughout the season.
