The company was originally established in
1898 by Maurice and Nathen Gluckman as Gluckman Brothers Livestock
Auctioneers. Success in the country towns led to a move to
the Johannesburg Market in the early 1900’s, where their
well-established contacts with livestock sellers around the
country and ability to supply fluctuating demand paid handsome
dividends.
It was during this period that Maurice’s son Gerry,
joined the company as a young man and enthusiastically set
out to learn the ropes.
It was not long before Gerry took over the running of the growing
business from his father and successfully steered the company
through various paths of diversification, including a number
of partnerships, all of which served to expand its influence
and area of operation.
