Marise James
BAS Director
ACA

Marise has been with Staples Rodway in various capacities since 1986. Her strengths in rural and business accounting are supported by a lengthy background in farming – from hands on experience as a farmer to governance level and a Director on the board of several rural based companies including Kiwi Dairies and Fonterra. “I have been able to see the whole value change of the business, from being a producer to being a governor. That experience has been invaluable in providing service to our clients.”

One of the things Marise finds most satisfying in her role is relationship building. “The trust clients have in what we're doing for them is very important to us” says Marise, “we want to be the business advisers that people want to work for and the place that people automatically think of taking their business to, because of the way we do things”.

Winning the prestigious Nuffield Scholarship in 1998 allowed Marise the opportunity to travel to the UK, Europe and the USA for 6 months studying Co-operative vs. Corporate Dairy companies, the Impact of Deregulation in the UK Dairy Market and Animal Welfare/Environmental issues.

Marise’s interest in co-operatives and their governance has continued from this, she is currently a Director of Landcorp, FMG and Farmers Mutual Finance Limited, a member of the Advisory Board, FCA Victoria University and the Nuffield Scholarship Trust.

Outside of work sport is a dominant feature of Marise’s spare time; the gumboots are often replaced by sports shoes for a session at the gym or out on the road and she is also a particularly passionate rugby supporter often leading the heated tea room debate about the latest results!
