– Former employment relations dispute client.

“A few years ago our business got into difficulties. We contacted Pat and NMS. While we couldn’t save the business, the efforts of Pat without a doubt achieved a far better return for the creditors. His sales ability is beyond question. While some of the decisions at the time were hard to take, in hindsight Pat acted correctly, fairly and compassionately between all the parties in very trying and sometimes very emotional circumstances. We have nothing but respect for Pat, Claire and the team at NMS.”
– Former franchisee owner of a major NZ independent meat retailer.

“I wish I had met Pat, Claire and NMS years earlier.”

“When I started my business I lived on weet-bix. Claire assisted me from the start. I now have over twenty five staff operating from over 10 sites. NMS looks after all my finances, does all my accounts and office administration, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Claire and NMS. Can’t speak better of them.”
– Nelson based commercial cleaning business owner.

“With Pat’s and the staff of NMS help, our club was able to achieve a benchmark in the promotion of a National Championship which set a new standards within our sport. As the lead sponsor, all commitments given by Pat and his NMS team were delivered. That the championship was considered a “model event” by our national body shows that all NMS and my expectations were fully met. I hope that in the future we may again find a way of working together to deliver events of that quality. I have no hesitation in thanking and recommending Pat and NMS.”
– Nelson – Tasman motorsport club spokesperson.

“Our business went to the wall. Pat and NMS worked tirelessly between us and our creditors. We lost the lot and have now put the business failure behind us. In another couple of years we will be able to see some day light. NMS does everything for us now. We should have contacted them before we started our business. NMS knows what they are doing, and have proved it to us time and time again. Our sincere thanks.”
– Former owners of a hospitality business.

“Don’t believe all the rubbish that has been thrown at Pat in the past. Nobody is happy when a company goes under. The arguments and allegations between the company’s shareholders / directors and its creditors unfortunately is just part of the territory. Pat is a very experienced and very determined individual. Credit where credit is due, we have learned a lot from Pat and NMS. Good luck for the future.”
– Passenger and tourism services business owner.

“Pat rang me one morning at 3.00am because he couldn’t sleep. Fact was he had an answer to our business problem and he reckoned we shouldn’t be able to sleep either. By 3.45am that morning we were at his office for a meeting and we have been working on the same plan with great success ever since. NMS efforts and our success speaks for themselves really.”
– Commercial manufacturing business owner.  

“Claire and Pat have been great. I wouldn’t have survived if it wasn’t for them. Claire can be pretty tough some times, particularly when we want another couple of hundred dollars to spend. Budget is her second name. They have taught me heaps.”

“Pat and NMS do a lot for our community behind the scenes and have been tremendous in their support for our club with the only stipulation that they wish to remain anonymous.

– Nelson sports club co-ordinator.
