Kelvyn Coffey has specialised exclusively in the sale of motels, motor inns and tourist hotels since 1984, with the forming of a company then known as South Island Motel Brokers Ltd. This company enjoyed success in the travellers accommodation industry market throughout the 1980's, with expansion of its activities into hotel brokerage (pubs and taverns) and later general business brokerage. Having sold his interests in that company, (which operates today under a different name) Kelvyn formed this company in 1995. The reason being that he wished to refocus on specialising full time in the tourism property industry. Kelvyn has seen this industry through its highs and lows and is happy to share this experience with anyone contemplating entering the business.

Anne Marshall is Coffeys Nelson based representative. After 18 very successful years in Residential Real Estate in the Nelson market, Anne and her husband Gavin entered the motel industry. Anne and Gavin took two brand new motels successfully from a standing start to the very top of the Nelson motel market. Having recently sold the Five Star Palazzo Motor Lodge, Anne decided to share her expertise in the industry by becoming a Motel Broker with Coffeys. Anne and Gavin are happy to share their knowledge and industry experience to help encourage new moteliers in this exciting industry. Anne has a genuine desire to see people succeed in the industry and is keen to help.

Inky comes to Coffeys after spending the last 20 years in the hospitality industry. The first five years were managing a group of four hotels and the last 15 successfully running his own hotel, where he was the longest standing publican in a hotel that was first opened in 1867. Many changes in regulations in this industry has required lateral thinking and creative actions to stay competitive. It is this philosophy that Inky brings to Coffeys along with outstanding service to his clients, which has been the cornerstone of his success in the industry. Inky and his wife Paulette have raised two sons and two daughters and have six grandchildren. His leisure activities include rugby, cricket and golf, as well as family and friends.

He enjoys sharing his knowledge of the industry. As a past member of the service club Round Table (NZ) and a current member of the NZ 41 Club, Alan continues to be involved in community service activities.

Ian comes to Coffeys from a background of 18 years as a top performing rural real estate agent for a major franchise in the Nelson region.

Ian has travelled extensively in New Zealand and to a lesser extent overseas. He does not need convincing we live in Paradise.
