Todd Heller

Food Production

A 5th generation butcher, Todd Heller, opened his first butchery in New Brighton, Christchurch, in 1985. Today he is the founder of an iconic Kiwi brand, New Zealand’s leading bacon, ham and sausage producer, Heller Meats. The company directly employs over 1000 staff, across four production plants in New Zealand and Australia. Hellers has funded the “Sausages for Schools” programme, donating over two million sausages to school fundraisers, consequently helping schools raise over $4 million since 2012. Community is a priority for Hellers, with a recent contribution of 1200 pressed hams to city missions for Christmas.
