Briscoe Group

The company's beginnings date from 1862 when the first Briscoes warehouse and store was opened in Dunedin, by William Briscoe & Son. Australian and NZ operations were purchased by Merbank Corporation of Australia in 1973, and following extensive rationalisation, by Hagemeyer in 1977. Following several years of losses, the business was acquired by CEO Rod Duke, in 1990. Stock exchange listing followed a public issue of 40m shares at $1 each in November 2001.

By 2008, Briscoe Group Limited's retailing interests totalled 57 homeware stores and 32 sporting goods stores.
