Nick Giles is the Head of Hospitality New Zealand at LINK and a multi-award-winning business broker. Despite his strategic role in developing LINK’s hospitality team across the country, Nick remains deeply connected to his roots as a broker. In fact, he’s one of the best-known and most successful brokers in the sector! Over two decades ago, Nick decided to leave his office job to pursue his love for hospitality, marking the start of his journey in the industry.

The experience of buying, managing, and eventually selling his own café ignited a desire to help other business owners navigate the sales process, leading him to LINK. His hands-on experience as a business owner has equipped him with valuable insights, making him an empathetic and knowledgeable guide for his clients. Throughout the years, Nick has consistently ranked among the top 3 salespeople at LINK, with a growing track record of selling over $130 million worth of hospitality businesses!
