Meet the Team
Paid Right NZ is our two directors and the Area Managers working with business owners in their own regions. These are the people you would be dealing with.
Our directors

Mel Curwood
Founder and Director
0800 968 783during normal business hourshello@melcurwood.co.nz
Mel has spent more than 25 years in and around New Zealand businesses, nearly a decade of it working side by side with Kiwi trades, contracting and blue-collar businesses, helping them get paid. Together we have worked with over 350 New Zealand businesses.
She founded Paid Right NZ, and her full story is on Meet the founder.

John
Director, Technology and Infrastructure
0800 968 783during normal business hoursops@melcurwood.co.nz
John is a big part of what happens behind the scenes. He has been heavily involved in the R&D, technology and infrastructure that supports the business, from wrangling CRMs and migrating systems to getting forms, automations and processes working the way they should.
He has also played a key role in the development work behind our credit control diagnostic tools, turning a lot of “what if we could make it do this?” conversations into something practical and usable. In short, John is our get-it-done person for the technology behind the business.
