William and George Winstone

Written By Tom Reidy

In 1864, William Winstone brought a horse and cart and began to sell and cart coal on the waterfront and streets of Auckland. His business grew to meet local demand and he was joined by his younger brother George.  The Winstone brothers were a strong combination and their business grew rapidly under their leadership. Today Winstone Aggregates is New Zealand’s largest aggregate company with 26 locations nationwide.
