Elliot Power

Elliot is a Business Development Manager at Velocity Financial, based in Tauranga. He is currently completing his Level 5 Certificate in Financial Advice, with a focus on investments and personal insurance, as he works towards becoming a Financial Adviser. With a career spanning retail banking, logistics, manufacturing and the kiwifruit industry, Elliot brings extensive leadership and operational management experience to his role. Most recently, he managed a large kiwifruit packhouse operation with more than 800 staff across day and night shifts. This practical background gives him a strong understanding of the pressures faced by professionals, managers, tradespeople and business owners, particularly those balancing careers, mortgages, investments and family life. Elliot is especially interested in helping people think beyond simply paying down the mortgage. He enjoys helping clients consider how investments, property, debt reduction and personal insurance can work together as part of a clear, long-term financial plan. His approach is thoughtful and systematic: understanding what matters most to each person, starting with their long-term goals and breaking the journey into achievable steps. Based in Papamoa with his wife Sandra and their two young daughters, Elliot enjoys triathlon training, road cycling, hiking, gardening and following the Warriors. He also supports Sandra in her naturopathy business and is actively involved in his daughters’ school and the local community.
