Local leadership drives growth at Property Brokers Whanganui and Taranaki

Commitment to regional growth

Property Brokers is proud to announce leadership changes that reinforce its commitment to strong local expertise and community-focused service across the Whanganui and Taranaki regions.

Long-serving team member Ritesh Verma has been promoted to the role of Regional Manager for Whanganui and Taranaki. His appointment reflects over a decade of exceptional performance, both as a leading salesperson and as a respected leader within the business. Ritesh will now focus on expanding Property Brokers’ footprint across the wider Taranaki district, with a particular emphasis on growing the company’s presence and performance in New Plymouth.

Stepping into Ritesh’s former role as Branch Manager of Property Brokers Whanganui and Waverley is Vicky Todd – a well-known and highly regarded name in the region’s real estate circles. Vicky brings decades of experience, deep local knowledge, and a passion for community service that aligns strongly with Property Brokers’ values.

The appointments come at a time of ongoing momentum for Property Brokers in the central North Island, as the company continues to invest in regional leadership and long-term relationships.

Managing Director Guy Mordaunt says the new roles are part of the company’s strategy to promote from within and support people who have already proven their value and commitment to local communities.

“Ritesh has proven himself time and time again – both as a high-performing salesperson and as an outstanding leader who brings the best out of those around him,” says Mordaunt. “His move into a Regional Manager role is a natural progression and well-earned. We’re also thrilled to welcome Vicky into a wider leadership position. Her knowledge of the market, her professionalism, and her energy make her a fantastic fit for the role.”

Ritesh joined Property Brokers more than ten years ago and has played a pivotal role in growing the company’s presence across Whanganui and Taranaki. His strong leadership and deep understanding of the regional market have seen him help build a team culture focused on collaboration, high standards, and delivering great outcomes for clients.

“Taranaki is such a dynamic market and one I’m passionate about,” Ritesh says. “I’m looking forward to working closely with our team in New Plymouth and across the region to continue improving our service and results. I’ve been incredibly lucky to work with Vicky and know the Whanganui and South Taranaki teams are in great hands.”

Vicky Todd’s appointment as Branch Manager of Property Brokers Whanganui and Waverley ensures a smooth transition and continued success for the team. Known for her calm leadership style, in-depth market insight, and client-first approach, Vicky is ready to step into the role with confidence.

“I’ve always believed in the power of local knowledge, relationships, and community-first service – and that’s exactly what Property Brokers stands for,” says Vicky. “I’m excited to lead a team of people who love what they do and are committed to making a difference for our clients.”

Vicky’s leadership style centres around empowering her team, building strong relationships with clients, and ensuring every transaction – whether buying or selling – is handled with care and professionalism. Her hands-on experience in the Whanganui market means she understands not just the property landscape but the people and priorities that drive it.

As Property Brokers strengthens its leadership team in Whanganui and Taranaki, the focus remains firmly on delivering exceptional service backed by people who understand the regions they live and work in.

With Ritesh Verma now guiding the region as Regional Manager and Vicky Todd leading the way in Whanganui, Property Brokers clients can continue to expect the same trusted advice, local insight, and results-driven approach that have become hallmarks of the company’s success across regional New Zealand.
