Mike's a typical Kiwi bloke who just happens to be really good at selling businesses. He started in corporate sales before buying, selling and managing his own businesses across several franchise brands, so he knows the process inside and out from every angle.
He specialises in trades and services, transport, distribution, franchising and agribusiness, and regularly travels the length of the country to meet clients face to face. Mike's a firm believer that the magic happens belly to belly.
His clients describe him as laid back, professional and a genuine problem solver. He won Broker of the Year in 2021 and 2025, but he'll probably tell you about the snapper he nearly caught before he mentions that.
Give Mike a call, he'll put the kettle on.
