HISTORY OF GUTHRIE BOWRON

The Guthrie Bowron brand was founded in 1896 by Dunedin born Henry Guthrie who was soon after joined by George Bowron. Henry and George travelled throughout the South Island selling various products. In the mid 1920's Guthrie Bowron became involved in importing lacquer, varnish, lead and linseed oil – the base ingredients for paint at the time. In 1932 Guthrie Bowron was appointed agent for Dulux Paints and around this time opened a wallpaper store in Christchurch.

Guthrie Bowron became a public company in 1963 and by 1969 had 18 branches throughout the country retailing mainly paint and wallpaper. In 1971 the company was purchased by ICI (NZ) Ltd the owner and manufacturer of the Dulux paint brand and by 1985 had 34 outlets.

In 1992 Guthrie Bowron was sold to a team of senior managers who set about franchising the stores. Over the next decade the business continued to grow as it became a solely franchise business. The business currently operates as a franchise, under the management of GBHC 2014 Limited.

Shame all staff can't be like the people who installed our curtains and blinds who were really efficient. However, the person who measured did so incorrectly, sent the wrong colour for one room and made us feel very uncomfortable when asking for a blind to be fixed so it hung straight. Sadly lacking good customer service. No apologies given for the disruption caused for his mistakes. Would not recommend.

I would like to compliment Leonie who looks after the paint side of things. Such a pleasure to deal with and very helpful. Sorted out a lot of test pots for me with a smile on her face. She is an asset to your business.
