Juliet Morrison

Branch President
Northland

I am the owner and managing director of the Judge House of Ale in Whangarei, Northland. I have been involved in the hospitality industry for over 13 years collectively, with 7 of those owning and operating the Judge. I am a Northland girl through and through and have enjoyed many years of hospitality on both sides of the bar, in various cities in NZ and overseas. I draw on my sales, marketing and business development experience to create a sustainable business that harvests strong relationships within our community, creates memorable customer experiences and embraces our diverse local culture.

I am passionate about the Northland region and believe that hospitality provides the perfect gateway to connect with our people and become a vibrant hub of our community. I am an enthusiastic advocate for good operators who provide safe, innovative and enjoyable venues for people of all ages to enjoy.
