Company History
Head & Humphreys has a proud history in Land Surveying and Land Development Planning going back over 60 years
Arnold Wilson & Associates was founded in the 1950’s by Arnold Wilson and Jack Wilkins through their association at the Melbourne Metropolitan Tramways Board.
Upon the death of Arnold Wilson and later retirement of Jack Wilkins in the early 1960’s, the business was sold to Maurie Head and his business partner John Humphreys, who changed the name of the Company to Head & Humphreys in the early 1970’s.
Gary Coles and Stephen McCabe became directors of the business in 1986, and oversaw the expansion and move of the business to its present office location.
Gary and Steve welcomed Paul Murrihy as a director of the business in 2012, and Jason Ollerenshaw in 2017 upon Gary’s retirement.
