Meet Johnnie MacDonald

Livestock Administrator at Marlborough

Johnnie has been part of the ANZCO Foods team for 25 years. In his role, he helps keep things moving by liaising with drafters and transport coordinators, so there's always livestock coming in for processing.

Before joining ANZCO, Johnnie worked as a rep for DB Breweries. He also spent time in the livestock teams at PGG Wrightson and Dalgety’s, so he's had plenty of experience across different parts of the rural sector.

One thing that's surprised him during his time at ANZCO is the camaraderie. He appreciates the strong sense of teamwork and connection across the site. Johnnie says he loves working at ANZCO Foods Marlborough!

Outside of work, Johnnie enjoys going to the gym, spending time with his family - especially his grandkids - and partying. He also has a notable claim to fame - he represented Marlborough at senior level in two sports, cricket and rugby.
