THE TEAM
We offer more than individual experience – we work as a team.
The CSA team of three matches up each business with the broker who has had the most appropriate skill set and yet as a team they still work together.
It’s called partnership, and the key to getting the right results for our buyers and sellers. Our results speak for themselves, but so do our happy clients, many of whom have returned many times over the years to buy and sell with us. We pride ourselves on old-fashioned face to face business while utilising every modern tool and approach available.
We don’t do hard sales tactics – we just take the time and effort to put the right people together for great outcomes.
Alan’s career began in the engineering world which saw him undertaking assignments for UK and US engineering companies around the world. His wide business experience gained internationally as well as at home included several years running his own businesses both here and in England. These included a Specialist Recruitment agency and the start-up of an import/distribution company in the UK. Alan joined Matt at CSA in 2003 and all these years later has successfully negotiated and completed multiple business sales.
Like a couple of his colleagues at CSA, Alan still thinks he can surf and is still finding waves while achieving successful deals for his clients.
Since he started building surfboards in 1977, Craig developed his business in numerous sectors including surfboards, textiles, airline products and garments. He established a regional presence with operations in NZ, Australia and Fiji. Craig understands what it takes to start a business, grow a business, run a business and to sell a business, so it simply made sense for Craig to join the Company Sales and Acquisitions team.
Howard has over 35 years’ experience in financial, IT, sales and general management roles in a range of medium sized businesses. As a result Howard understands what it takes to be successful in this sector. He has also owned his own business and has been involved in the purchase and sale of several businesses during his career.
Howard is passionate about his work and always brings energy, diligence and integrity to the table.
Matt founded Company Sales and has always been regarded as an experienced and well respected business broker in Auckland. After several years of practicing as an M&A specialist with a Merchant Bank, acquiring extensive experience in the sale and purchase of medium and large private companies, Matt decided to branch out on his own.
In 1989, Company Sales and Acquisitions was established. Matt was a Chartered Accountant with a background in accounting, merchant banking and senior corporate roles, before he entered this industry.
Matt recently retired and has moved to live at the beach.
