McCulloch Agencies, Media Release, 31 October 2023
In a bold stride for the livestock industry, McCulloch Agencies proudly announces the strategic acquisition of Prosser Hutton Pty Ltd and the Cliff Horton businesses, both highly respected and long-standing agencies based in Mungindi, NSW.
Set to take effect on November 1 2023, this acquisition is crucial to McCulloch Agencies’ ambitious strategy of extending its livestock brand and influence across Northern NSW.
Peter Prosser, a seasoned agent who has helmed Prosser Hutton Pty Ltd for decades, steps into semi-retirement, signalling a new chapter for the company and the Mungindi community.
“Leading Prosser Hutton has been a rewarding journey. I am excited to entrust the company to McCulloch Agencies, whose principles of integrity and quality echo our own ethos. This ensures that our clients and community will continue to receive unparalleled care,” Mr Prosser said.
Daniel McCulloch, Managing Director at McCulloch Agencies, expressed that both Prosser Hutton Pty Ltd and Cliff Horton have built exceptional businesses anchored in a deep understanding of their communities and a commitment to outstanding service.
“It’s truly an honour to continue the legacy they’ve built. These acquisitions not only extend our geographical reach, but, more importantly, they enhance our ability to deliver a more robust and integrated service to our clients.
“Merging our strengths with the reputations of these two respected names will undoubtedly elevate our collective offerings,” Mr McCulloch said.
In Mungindi, the responsibility of leading the business post-acquisition will be embraced by new team member Steve Maunder. His extensive knowledge and expertise are crucial in upholding the high standards of service and community engagement, now under the banner of McCulloch Agencies.
McCulloch Agencies is also set to expand its operations into Walgett, further extending its reach and service capabilities in the region.
Karina McCulloch, Director of McCulloch Agencies, articulated the broader vision.
“With the addition of Prosser Hutton and Cliff Horton, McCulloch Agencies now grows its footprint across five locations with a solid team of eight livestock agents. This underscores our commitment to leading the industry in the livestock sector” Ms McCulloch stated.
The recent expansion of McCulloch Agencies aligns closely with strategic developments within the industry, particularly highlighted by the integration of McCulloch Agencies’ real estate arm with LAWD from September 1.
This development holds significant relevance for clients of Prosser Hutton Pty Ltd and Cliff Horton in Mungindi. McCulloch’s new role as Senior Director of Agribusiness Transactions at LAWD will bring enhanced service capabilities and a deeper understanding of client business needs, ensuring comprehensive support and expertise in the livestock and real estate sectors.
