Our history
We were founded in 1957 by Wolf Gartner. Wolf first established the Ringwood practice before starting a visiting practice in Croydon in 1961. Not long after, he formed a partnership with Ross Harris and in 1969 the pair were joined by Terry Blake.
We’ve since had three other partners including Brett Parsons who became a partner when Wolf retired in 1990, Linda Harwood who became a partner when Ross retired in 2008, and our most recent partner, Dina Anastas who took up the position when Terry retired in 2013.
