A former national champion barefoot water skier and NZ representative in skateboarding and BMX, she brought that same go-hard attitude into business, building a ski school and retail shop into a nationwide import company over 25 years.
Since becoming a business broker in 2013, she's completed over 150 successful business sales and has the awards to prove it. She specialises in online, health and wellness businesses, and her clients love her because she's been in their shoes.
She knows what it takes to build something and what it means to let it go. Coffee, tea, or green smoothie, Shelley's always up for a chat.
