Rural Challenge - A History of Wrightson Ltd
Author(s): Hugh Stringleman; Graeme Hunt
In 2005 stock-and-station agency Wrightson Ltd merged with South Island rival Pyne Gould Guinness Ltd to form the country's largest rural services company, PGG Wrightson Ltd. The deal ended Wrightson's 144-year history as a standalone business and closed a chapter on a heritage dating back to the Otago gold rush.
Hugh Stringleman and Graeme Hunt retell Wrightson's tumultuous history in the context of an ever-changing stock-and-station industry that once boasted household names such as Levin, Dalgety, NMA and Newton King.
