Alex Scott and Staff started their business in 1886, so this year celebrated 140 years as an independent family and staff owned, stock and station agent. Last week they also opened their office in High Street, Yea, with an official opening night that included local clients and staff.
Alexander Scott, the man who laid the sound foundation of the firm that was to become a household name in rural Victoria – more especially throughout Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula – was a hard-working, down-to-earth son of the soil. With this background he steered the company for fifty years, and then his son, Stewart Scott, took over the reins and guided it for a further 53 years through the company’s centenary in 1986. Stewart continued as Managing Director until his death in 1988 – 103 years of continuous management by father and son. Continued on by their current Directors, Tom Gibson (4th generation) and Greg Price. It is a unique record of an unbroken family association.
Alex Scott and Staff join with other local agents, Elders, Victoria Livestock and Property, and Nutrien Ag in selling at our combined Yea store sales.
