Julie Fox
Nutrition Sales Specialist – Northland
With 25 years of experience in the primary sector, my nutrition expertise centers primarily on Calf and custom Blends, complemented by a dual role with NRM. Prior to SealesWinslow, I worked with Ballance Agri Nutrients and RD1/Farmsource. My greatest satisfaction comes from partnering with farmers, gaining insight into their business, and collaborating on effective solutions.
I’m motivated by seeing results, such as helping a dairy farmer transition to a custom blend and achieving a great response with an increase in Milk Solids within a week. I love dealing with people and the variety my role offers.
Outside of work, I stay involved in my community. I play netball in winter and provide first aid and strapping for the local rugby club. I’m also involved with the Northland Field Days committee. I prioritize time with family and love going fishing with my Dad during the summer months.
Chris Stephens
Regional Sales Manager
chris.stephens@sealeswinslow.co.nz
My connection to the primary sector began in 1998 with dairy farming, foundational experience I built upon with an OE and further time on the farm. Academically, I hold a Diploma in Agriculture and a Diploma in Agribusiness. Professionally, I started with Farmlands in 2008, moving to NRM in 2010 as a Technical Dairy Rep, and now serve as the SW Team Lead/Farmlands Commodity Manager.
My core expertise is in Dairy and Calf Nutrition/Commodities. What I enjoy most is being brought into a farmer’s business to help solve a problem and develop a lasting solution-focused relationship. My main motivation at SealesWinslow is the people—working alongside a passionate team who share my drive for providing top-tier nutrition solutions.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three teenage boys. I like playing golf and, whenever possible, fishing on Lake Taupo or any river near Turangi.

Peta Hamilton
Nutrition Sales Specialist – Lower North Island
I was born and bred in Whanganui and grew up on a sheep and beef farm. I have had a passion for farming from a young age. After meeting my husband, Andy, and following him around New Zealand as he chased the high-country sheep and beef farming dream in the South Island, I decided to throw myself into relief milking, calf rearing, and working for LIC, where I found dairy farming really interesting – especially raising quality calves and young stock. I started my journey within the rural retail sector with PGG Wrightson in Lumsden before continuing in the Whanganui PGG Wrightson store after moving back home in 2021.
I have three daughters, Quinn, Honor, and Geva, whom I really enjoy spending time with, whether it be driving around the countryside to different horse events, heading to WOW in Wellington, or spending time at the beach. I am an avid sports fan, especially of Netball and Rugby. I help coach a local school netball team and spend most winters on the sideline watching my daughters play.
I am looking forward to getting out and about on the farm and getting to know farmers within my region.
