Lisa Portas

Lisa Portas is the Expansion Co-ordinator at Palliser Ridge and has lived on Palliser Ridge with Kurt since 2009.

Prior to the role Lisa holds now, she worked in Wellington and Masterton as a Manager in the Retail Sector. As their boys came along, (Beauden who is 4, and Axel who is 1 and a half), Lisa was looking for ways to combine her previous life as a Business Manager with her new life as a Stay at Home Mum.

2015 saw the beginning of her involvement officially in the Farm. With Kurt running the business on the ground, it was Lisa’s role to ensure the new Palliser Ridge Lamb venture was a success, which began with developing a strong brand.

More recently Lisa’s position allows her to carry out research into new opportunities that their Farm could explore in the future, watch this space!
