Richardson & Wrench is an Australian real estate company. It was founded in 1858 by Robert Richardson and Edward Wrench in George Street, Sydney.[1] In 1889, it was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. It was taken over by Lendlease in December 1961 and delisted.[2] In 1982, Lendlease sold the business to Neil Collins, who in turn sold it in 1988 to the Malaysian WTK Group.[3][4][5][failed verification]
As at 2016, Richardson & Wrench had 100 franchises in New South Wales and Queensland. It previously had offices in the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and Western Australia.[6] In 2016, it was purchased by chief executive Andrew Cocks in a management buyout.[7]
