Introducing our newest Anchor milk teams

We’re thrilled to welcome two new teams to our Anchor Milk whānau!

First, let's give a warm welcome to Martha and Olly Van Arts, our new Anchor Milk team in the Hawke's Bay! Martha and Olly co-founded the Skinnies sunscreen brand and grew it for over a decade both in New Zealand and internationally. They bring a wealth of experience and are excited to continue the great work already achieved in the Hawke's Bay. They moved back to the Bay last year with their five kids to be closer to family and enjoy the good weather. We know they’ll achieve great things and add so much to our programme.

Let’s make sure they feel the incredible support and teamwork that makes our Anchor franchise family so special.

Operations manager and familiar face Dave will continue to be your point of call within the Hawke’s Bay team.

Next, we’re excited to introduce Rob Simeon and Chelsea Oliver, our new Anchor Milk team in Gisborne! Rob, a born and bred Gisborne local, has a background in telecommunications, electrical trades, and project management. Chelsea, originally from the King Country, has a background in civil engineering specializing in transportation. Together, they bring a unique blend of skills and experience to our team. They have a one-year-old son who will soon be living and breathing the Milky life with them.

Rob and Chels

Rob and Chelsea are excited to continue the exceptional work of David and Kim Jenkins, who have successfully led the team business since 1997.


Over the coming months, we’ll be placing the spotlight on more of our Anchor milk teams who play a vital role in delivering Anchor milk to schools across the country.
