He is also a published author of an article on land taxation in New Zealand (June 2011).

After a further 12 years in public practice his passion for business is invigorating. From business plans to cash flows, financial analysis and business structures your interests will be well served.

Mike has a background in manufacturing industries (3years) and transport (15 years), including several years as an urban transport planner, and lastly in commercial realty (2 years) business broking and valuations.

If you have a bent for sports that's definitely another passion. A lifetime of activity in playing, coaching and administration for a range of sports is often an ice-breaker for communication.
