ATS Methven ProfileThe crew at ATS Methven believe in the personal touch. They are on a first-name basis with their customers, and outside work they are all part of the same small farming community.

Store manager Mel Sowden says the Methven store has a family feel. She works alongside full-timers Sophie Lilley and Anna-Marie Libeau, and after-school boy Josh Marr. They are a new team, but not new to the district.

Mel has worked for ATS for three years, and she and her husband Graham have farmed sheep and beef for Paul and Sarah Grigg at Surrey Hills, for 17 years.

She is originally from the West Coast and has spent plenty of time on dairy farms, raising calves and working sheep. Agriculture, is a way of life for her family now; oldest daughter Stephanie is “farm-mad” and studying at Lincoln, while 12-year-old Anna is at Mt Somers Springburn School.

Mel says farmers might be their customers, but they were also friends, team-mates or neighbours. “We love it when people drop in for a chat about what’s going on in their lives.”

Mel says the store is a one-stop shop for farmers, and if what they need is not in stock, then Ashburton is only a short trip away to access it.

Sophie Lilley, 21, started at the store last November, but she is no stranger having grown up on a 50ha mixed farm on the outskirts of Methven. Her father Bruce is a shearer and mother Robyn has worked in the wool shed with him.

Sophie went to Mt Hutt College then decided to follow her passion for agriculture by undertaking a BCom in Agriculture at Lincoln University (majoring in plant production and farm management).

Her university summer holidays were spent on Waimarama Dairies, at the base of Mt Hutt, and on the sheep and beef station at Hunter Hills, in the Hakataramea valley.

She can be spotted outside work running the steam off her two adventurous Jack Russells, and on the slopes of Mt Hutt in winter – now she is no longer a poor student! Sophie’s area of expertise in the Methven store is around chemicals.

Anna-Marie Libeau, 24, came to Methven two years ago from the Waikato to be part of the Mid Canterbury dairying scene. She looks after retail sales, helping out in the dairy and animal health area.

Her three-year-old son Isaac keeps her busy outside of work and Anna-Marie is currently running 5km most days in preparation for the Berwick Outdoor Experience, a challenging eight-day physical pursuits course which ATS has sponsored her to attend.

Josh Marr works after school. The 17-year-old goes to Mt Hutt College and is thinking about studying at Lincoln next year. His parents Ian and Sandra run an arable farm and Josh keeps fit playing hockey for the Methven senior men’s team.
