WHK Group History

The Company commenced operations as an engineering, surveying and town planning services provider. It listed on the ASX in 1987. In late 1997, the Company shifted its focus from its core business of engineering/surveying to the provision of financial services and sold off the bulk of its non-financial services business operations. The Company changed its name to IGP in April 1998 and adopted its present name WHK Group Limited (WHG) in October 2005.
