Who We Are
A Legacy of Support
Christies was originally established in 1946 as ‘GJ Christie & Co’ during the early post-war years. The founders, Gordon and Brian Christie, had the foresight to establish a business designed to assist others with their own business affairs. Many of Christies’ clients were, and still are, rural sector businesses throughout Central and North-Western NSW.
As Dubbo grew from a town to a city, Christies expanded, taking on more employees to meet the growing demands of their clients. In 1949 at the age of 18, Ron Rich joined the firm under the mentorship of founder Gordon Christie. In later years, Ron became the proprietor, and in association with Ken McAnally, they were instrumental in heading up the firm until the end of the century.
Ron was a selfless community-minded man, described as “Dubbo’s most respected citizen” by the mayor Tony McGrane in the year of his death. Christies is now owned and operated by David Rich (son of Ron), David Chapman and Jeremy Dickson – three partners with the continuing vision of providing trusted, lifelong quality client service.
