History

Originally within the Challenge group there were three divisions selling appliances - Wrightson NMA, MacEwans Machinery and Electric Refrigeration (established in 1937). Wrightson NMA and McEwans Machinery had the franchise for selling Fisher and Paykel products and Electric Refrigeration were franchised to sell appliances manufactured by General Motors.

In April 1978 these three companies combined and operated as a division of Wrightson NMA
