Mick Sidey has an excellent knowledge of Canterbury with over 20 years’ experience in the rural sector. Mick’s experience combined with the power of the Bayleys brand will make an enviable combination within the rural real estate market.

Mick was bought up on a North Canterbury stud sheep farm, and has continued to live and work in the area until the present day. Upon leaving school, Mick entered the stock and station industry as a highly respected livestock agent for Wrightson’s covering the Hawarden, Amberley and latterly the Cheviot districts for 12 years.

Mick then entered the farming industry as a partner in a farm in Cheviot. This farm was developed from a dry land holding into an irrigated intense sheep and beef finishing operation which Mick managed for three years.
