Henry Helsby

Before business sales, Henry spent over ten years in construction, starting as an apprentice builder and working through to commercial project manager. That background gave him a knack for managing timeframes, handling expectations, and keeping complex projects on track.

Henry is Kakapo's go-to broker for childcare and education businesses. As a proud dad to three young girls who've all been through early learning, Henry has a genuine appreciation for what makes a great childcare centre. He understands these businesses aren't just balance sheets. They're communities built on trust, reputation and responsibility.

That's what makes him so good at what he does. He helps owners navigate what can be an emotional and complex process with clarity, structure and steady guidance. When he's not working, he's either glued to the cricket or rugby, being taught the latest TikTok dance by his girls, or sneaking out for a round of golf.
