Nick loves hospitality! He likes it so much that he bought his own cafe! Some 10 years ago, Nick left his office job and spent 6 months researching and learning everything he could about cafes before buying Roasted Addiqtion Café in Kingsland. Having enjoyed the experience of buying, running (for 5 years) and then selling his own café business, Nick turned his attention to helping other hospitality owners sell their businesses.
Nick has been in the top 3 sales people at Link Business Broking Ltd for the last 8 years running and has been involved in the sale of over $60M of hospitality businesses! At LINK’s International Conference in Fiji Nick won both the 2016 New Zealand Broker of the Year award and the 2016 International Broker of the Year award.
He has recently also won the 2017 New Zealand Broker of the Year award.
Nick’s passion is really understanding how each business ticks both financially and operationally and then finding out how to add the maximum value to the business. Nick enjoys the process of helping and advising buyers immensely. It can be a daunting prospect buying a business and people feel immediately comfortable once they learn that Nick has been through the process and understands what they are experiencing. Whether you are an experienced café or restaurant owner or someone looking for their first step in the exciting world of hospitality, Nick is always happy to chat.

“Your professionalism and patience throughout the whole process has simply been amazing to watch! We can smile about it now, but there were a few bumpy turns along the way. Tricky situations that you handled without fuss and solved efficiently as they arose..” DF
“Just wanted to send you a quick email saying thanks for all your help with getting the sale over the line. I'm not sure it would have happened without you! I imagine it wasn't your easiest deal ever, but hopefully the scars are healing and if I'm in a position at looking to sell then I'll definitely be giving you a call. Also, when I'm looking at buying another business (which maybe sooner than you think) I'll be back in touch as well. Thanks again." TL
