Sidekick Rural is now in Southland.
Southland has a strong agricultural heart, and we’re excited to bring Sidekick Rural to the region.
As part of Sidekick’s arrival in Invercargill, the team at Sidekick Flintoffs is joining the Sidekick Rural network. A large part of Flintoffs’ existing client base is made up of agricultural businesses, so the team already understands the realities of working with Southland farming families and rural businesses.
Leading our Southland rural offering will be Director, Jo Thomson and Associate, Olivia Lee, who will work alongside Directors Brett Wooffindin in Wairarapa and Richard Wheeler in South Canterbury.
Olivia is a born and bred Southlander with strong connections to the local farming community, including helping on her husband’s farm. Jo brings broad experience across farming, commercial and small business.
Together, they’re passionate about growing their agri advisory offering with the support of Brett and Richard, helping New Zealand farmers ‘Be More Successful’.
