While not from an agricultural background, Frances has become passionate about the dairy industry. She leads a team of three in the Coles Farms office, overseeing the financial, HR, H&S, compliance and administrative duties required of a large scale agricultural business. When not busy with her and Aaron’s three young daughters, she has also been involved with various community and industry groups. She spent five years as convenor of the South Canterbury Dairy Women’s Network group and has recently joined the Geraldine Primary School Board of Trustees. She enjoys the chance to catch up with friends whenever she can and loves spending summer days boating.
