Forsyth Barr Investor Day March 2019
1967
1984
2014
Turners Automotive Group was formed through the 2014 merger of New Zealand's largest vehicle and machinery retailer, Turners
Auctions, and leading consumer finance and insurance business, Dorchester Pacific.
Turners Auctions was established in 1967 when Turners and Growers Limited began
auctioning cars and trucks alongside its fruit and produce business
Today, Turners is New Zealand's largest retailer of used cars, trucks and machinery
Dorchester was incorporated in 1984 as Venture Pacific Limited. The company became
Dorchester Pacific Limited in 1992
Over the following years, Dorchester developed a core financial services base through the
acquisition of a number of finance companies throughout New Zealand aligned to its
consumer finance and insurance strategy
In 2014, Dorchester launched a successful takeover offer for Turners Auctions and
consolidated its interests into a single entity that carried the Turners name
The decision to continue the Turners brand recognised the rich history and consumer
recognition attached to it

Why the Integrated Model Works
12
•In Turners’ controlled channels, more margin per transaction is earned
•Diversification of earnings
•Capturing both underwriting (finance and insurance) and retail
commissions
•Integrated model provides insulation against market and regulatory
changes
•Annuity revenue from finance and insurance means more predictable
and consistent earnings
•Enabling faster and higher quality development of systems (Turners has
its own test platform internally)
