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.
