Valuers at Hollis & Scholefield did a walk down Memory Lane on November 14, when they celebrated the firm’s 40th anniversary.
Current director Steve Jack marked the occasion by inviting founding directors Ray Hollis and Guy Scholefield, current and former staff, and family to a small celebration.
They shared memories of riding around farm boundaries on horseback, doing their calculations with a slide rule and waiting days for photographs to be developed.
They lamented the arrival of the fax machine, followed by emails and the internet, which had sped up the process so that “everything felt rushed”.
When the office upstairs in Queen Street opened, their neighbours were the lawyers Jackson Russell and dentist Merv Wilson, and the New World supermarket was across the road.
Ray said through their work, they had formed rich and rewarding friendships with families throughout the district.
Hollis & Scholefield has offices in Warkworth and Orewa.
