Rural Challenge: A History of Wrightson Ltd.
Publisher: Willson Scott
In 2005, stock-and-station agency Wrightson Ltd merged with Pyne Gould Guinness Ltd
to form PGG Wrightson Ltd. In this book, Hugh Stringleman and Graeme Hunt retell
Wrightsons tumultuous history in the context of an ever-changing stock-and-station industry that once boasted household names such as Levin, Dalgety, Loan & Merc, NMA and Newton King.
Read about the managers, the staff and the stock agents of a business that started during the Otago gold rush, and 144 years later continues to serve the rural community. It includes names like Sir William Hunt, Sir Clifford Plimmer, Sir Ronald Trotter and Craig Norgate, who left their mark on a dynamic and colourful industry.
This richly illustrated book will be a collectors item.
