Description
The series consists mostly of premises and staff of Otago Motors in Dunedin and the Branches of Balclutha and Alexandra. Otago Motors was formed in April 1929 by Wright Stephenson & Co Ltd [Company number: 115041; NZBN: 9429032078008; Incorporation Date: 08Apr1929]. In 1944 the business of Kean & Weddell of Balclutha was purchased and in 1954 the business of Armours Motors Ltd in Alexandra. A new manager, Ron Turnbull, formerly of Dunedin Branch, was appointed. By 1958, therefore, there were three branches: Dunedin, Balclutha and Alexandra. Otago Motors' name was changed to Wright Stephenson & Co Ltd in 1971 & traded under the name Wrightcars. In 1989 the company was sold to Cooke Howlison.
