    * How debt helps you;

    Phil Hinton is an Executive Director for KCL Property, a company that specialises in direct commercial property investment, commercial property development and a full range of management functions including lease, facilities and financial management of its properties.

With 330 tenants and 110 properties, KCL is a major player in the direct property investment industry in New Zealand, having been in business since 1993.

    Phil was born in Fiji but grew up and was educated in Whanganui, where he was Head boy at Whanganui High School in 1975. He then took up an urban valuation cadetship with the then Valuation Department in Wellington in 1976 through to 1979, where he won the Institute Professional prize for 1979.
