Nick Giles
Head of Hospitality New Zealand

Nick Giles is one of the most successful brokers in the hospitality sector.

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. After six months of research and preparation, he purchased Roasted Addiqtion Café in Kingsland, which he owned and operated for five years. 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! His accomplishments are further highlighted by countless sought-after awards, including the 2016 and 2017 New Zealand Broker of the Year and International Broker of the Year titles. He has also achieved Chairman’s Club status four times! Nick’s strength lies in understanding both the financial and operational aspects of hospitality businesses and his ability to uncover and enhance the true value of each business he sells.

Nick is well known for dining out! One of his passions is frequenting cafes and restaurants and, whilst this is intrinsically linked to his role, he would be dining out regardless of what he does for a living! He has also always had a love of music and has been an avid Clash fan since the age of 9. Seeing The Police live in Japan at age 10 ignited his passion for live music. Nick plays guitar and bass and, occasionally, drums and has a home recording studio to play in when he finds the time. 

Nick really enjoys assisting sellers & buyers, and he is hugely respected for his professionalism, expert knowledge, and ability to make clients feel comfortable as he helps them achieve their unique business goals. Nick’s passion for the hospitality industry and his knack for selling everything from simple cafés to top hospitality establishments make him a true leader in the field.

"A massive thank you Nick for all the hard work you have put in to get the sale over the line in probably the most challenging times the hospitality industry has ever seen.  I appreciate it has been a long and complicated process and you have put in the hard yards when needed.  You have exceeded my expectations in terms of the lengths that you went to in getting the job done.  Your communication was always professional, on point and fast.  You were always there when needed and got things done quickly when required.  I can’t thank you enough – without your efforts, I’m not sure it would have happened"

“Hi Nick, just wanted to say thanks so much for all your help over the past couple of months. We can now see why you’re #1. First night of service went well and it was a big night for the business so we are off to a roaring start! Also a big thanks for the lovely champagne it was such a nice surprise.”

Dan and Derek

“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

"Selling one’s business is a unique experience and therefore almost by definition, a potentially stressful one! Having someone who has extensive experience, and more particularly, hospitality experience, is a must. The road can hold a few unexpected turns… From the beginning to the very very end Nick, metaphorically (and sometimes literally) held my hand. His guidance and advice was always at the ready and always invaluable. I could not recommend Nick Giles highly enough. Thanks again Nick – you were amazing." SJ
