Aaron West

Brought up in Opotiki, Aaron West spent the early part of his career working as a helicopter pilot in the agricultural and venison industries, building up a significant network of contacts throughout the Eastern Bay of Plenty and wider New Zealand. Whilst working as a pilot, Aaron also owned an earth-moving contracting business that worked within the agricultural space, namely farm conversions.

He then moved off-shore, and worked as a helicopter pilot throughout America in wild-life management, conservation and mining. Aaron built a network of high-net worth contacts in these industries before his return to New Zealand in 2012.

Aaron is looking forward to using his extensive local, national and international networks, his in-depth knowledge of the agriculture sector and his passion for rural real estate as part of the Colliers Rural and Agribusiness team. Aaron covers all rural and lifestyle real estate across the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
