Lewis Road Creamery founder Peter Cullinane (left) has sold the remainder of the business to Southern Pastures, which is chaired by Prem Maan. Lewis Road Creamery took off in 2014 when the nation swooped up its bottles of chocolate milk as soon as they hit shelves. Prem Mann, Southern Pastures executive chairman and Lewis Road board member, said Peter had created an amazing brand. Premium milk produced under the Southern Pastures 10 Star programme is currently used in Lewis Road Creamery's grass-fed butter. The board of Southern Pastures, chaired by Maan and including former All Blacks captain Graham Mourie, Phillip Wight, and Taari Nicholas will become the board of Lewis Road.
