Investor Presentaiton
1965
David England
Managing Partner,
Wilson, Bishop & Henderson
"In 1960 the Melbourne firm of Wilson, Bishop & Henderson
purchased a small practice from a local accountant in Smith
Street. I was asked to manage same and arrived in Darwin
with my wife in 1960.
With a staff of three the work was challenging and within
twelve months we moved to larger premises in Cavanagh
Street with extra staff being transferred from Melbourne. In
those days we travelled extensively in the Territory and
'down the track'. The practice grew rapidly it was an exciting
time for Darwin and the Territory which then began to
flourish as the capital of the "Top End' and Gateway to the
North. Community involvement was essential and I look
back with pride on the many organisations I was involved in
particularly my appointment to the board of the Darwin Port
Authority at a time when the Port of Darwin was being
redeveloped the Ord River Scheme and the Bauxite Mine at
Gove. I am very proud along with other members of my
involvement in the formation of CPA in 1965 in the Northern
Territory and their place in the community this year and in
the future."
