Grant and Paul have a knack of spotting opportunities and turning them into hugely successful ventures, both professionally and to benefit others.
​
In 2018 they saw an opportunity to do something they loved differently - they wanted to change the way accountants and performance specialists helped businesses in New Zealand.
​
They wanted to lead a team to help grow our regional economy.
​
Clients would no longer be transactional relationships. Really getting to know each other and investing in outcomes would be key. Flexibility, agility and empowerment would be lived through a talented team who love to think differently and have common values. Their vision for Velocite was born.
​
At the time, Grant and Paul were working with an amazing group of highly qualified and talented professionals. The team saw their vision and transitioned PwC in New Plymouth into Velocite.
​
Why Velocite with an ‘e’? Like many businesses, we like moving forward and getting things done “at speed and with momentum”, and it’s part of us doing things a little differently.
