Our History

In 2009-10, NDY celebrated its fiftieth year in business. We are very proud of this significant milestone.
 
To mark the occasion, NDY committed to a number of activities and celebrations. Among them was the relaunch of this website. We have also refreshed our brand. The Norman Disney and Fifty Years Young motto was used across all offices during the 2009-10 financial year.
 
It takes a dedicated and leading team to achieve fifty years in business. Our longevity is testament to our people and our reputation in the market. We look forward to a long and bright future and building on our success over the past fifty years for many years to come.
