Travis Sherlock

Auckland

In 2025, Travis Sherlock and his business partner Ollie Wright successfully sold 10 businesses, delivering in excess of $10 million in completed transactions. Their sales spanned a diverse range of industries including landscaping, electrical, concrete grinding, manufacturing, gate automation, a clothing brand, and an entertainment centre, a result that reflects both the strength of their buyer network and the breadth of their broking capability.

Travis brings firsthand experience from within New Zealand's plumbing, electrical, and service-based industries, combined with a Bachelor of Commerce, giving him both the operational and commercial foundations to understand what truly drives value in business. He takes the time to learn the ins and outs of every business he represents, ensuring he can present each opportunity to the market with confidence, clarity, and credibility.

Together with Ollie, Travis operates as part of ABC's specialist broking team. With a strong foundation in trade and service-based businesses and a full general broking capability, they bring the same structured, results-driven approach to every transaction, regardless of industry.

Central to their success is a proactive approach to buyer engagement. Travis and Ollie work strategically with a qualified network of motivated buyers actively seeking acquisitions, meaning sellers benefit from targeted, well-matched interest rather than a passive listing process.

Travis's testimonial

"Selling Elite Gates was a significant milestone, and I'm extremely pleased with the outcome Travis and Ollie achieved. Their professionalism, communication, and strategic approach throughout the process gave me confidence from start to finish, and they worked hard to secure a great result. The most valuable part of having them represent me was their ability to qualify buyers, manage negotiations, and keep the sale moving while allowing me to stay focused on running the business. Their advice and experience made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward. If you're thinking about selling your business, I'd highly recommend speaking with Travis and Ollie. They genuinely understand the business sales process, work hard on your behalf, and are committed to achieving the best possible outcome. Thanks again, gentlemen."

Brendan Muller - Past Vendor

"My name is Roy Easton, and I owned Auckland Concrete Grinding for 28 years. The company was consistently profitable, making it attractive to potential purchasers, but also a business I was very happy to hold on to.

Over the past 10 years, I have been regularly approached by business brokers. Most made the process of selling sound daunting and drawn out, often suggesting it could take six months or more. So when Travis first approached me, I was naturally a bit reserved.

However, after a few meetings, Travis and Ollie presented a very different picture. They put together a strong sales and marketing package and took the time to genuinely understand my business and customers. That level of effort gave me real confidence and I felt it was incredibly important.

The sales process itself was impressive, professional in every aspect and very reassuring throughout. From start to finish, the sale took just three months, with far more demand than I had expected.

On a personal note, the outcome has been excellent both financially and mentally. I am now working for the new owner and genuinely feel I have a new lease on life. I would highly recommend Travis and Ollie, along with the wider ABC team. Chris, the owner, has an excellent reputation and it certainly shows in how the business operates."
