Office Move
We are excited to announce that we have moved into our purpose built premise at level 1, 190 High Street, Rangiora.
Originally when George Helmore commenced practising law in 1884 it was in a little single storeyed wooden office on the south side of High Street. This office became too small and Mr Helmore erected a brick faced Georgian Style office at 145 High Street, almost facing down Good Street. As the firm continued to expand, 143 High Street was taken over as well, and the firm was spread over both premises.
In 1978 the firm had expanded further and a larger premise was needed at which stage the firm moved to 9 Good Street, Rangiora. This was a house originally built by the Carmana family who had five daughters. By adding a foyer, a large office and a safe, the house was converted into offices. There have been many alterations to this building to make it what it is today.
The growth of the firm has continued and we were spread across two offices. Due to the challenges with this a new premises was sought.
It is anticipated that with the extra space in this premise we will be able to grow further, with the community, for many decades to come.
