Melissa Richardson

Growing farming in the Horowhenua and working with respected names like Moxham's and Lewis Farms, I developed a deep appreciation for New Zealand’s primary industries and the values of hard work, resilience, and trust.

For the past 10 years, I’ve worked at Contact Energy primarily within the Sales division. My journey has included roles such as CSR Onboarding Lead, Development Coach, Sales Team Leader, and currently Team Leader of the Energy Wellbeing Team. These positions have given me a deep understanding of both residential and commercial sales, team development, customer relationship management, and the importance of a positive team culture and collaboration. My leadership has been shaped by a consultative, people-first approach, consistently delivering strong results, and building lasting professional relationships.

I pride myself on my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I’m a natural communicator and influencer, known for my positive, solution-oriented mindset. Whether mentoring new staff, leading teams, or working directly with customers, I bring energy, integrity, and a strong drive to achieve.

The Territory Sales Manager role at Bell-Booth feels like a natural fit. My agricultural background, combined with my commercial sales expertise, and leadership experience, positions me to contribute meaningfully to your mission. I’m excited by the opportunity to work more closely with New Zealand’s farmers, offering real solutions that make a difference on-farm, and representing innovative, trusted products.
