The History Behind McKean McGregor



William McKean and Ralph McGregor both worked for Herbert Spencer & Co. at the Bendigo Saleyards in the early 1900s. In 1911 Herbert Spencer retired from the business so Mr McKean and Mr McGregor formed a partnership which was to be known as McKean McGregor & Co. Gerald Gallagher who had worked as a junior clerk at Spencer & Co joined them as their clerk. At the end of 1929, they decided to dissolve the partnership which saw the emergence of two new firms, W McKean & Co and Ralph H McGregor & Co at the start of 1930. 


Gerald Gallagher joined W. McKean & Co. as a partner with his mentor Mr. McKean. Following William McKean's death in 1947, Gerald became sole proprietor, joined by his brother Brendan. Gerald's sons, Kevin and Peter, joined in 1955 and 1961, respectively. Ralph McGregor founded his company in 1930, later joined by his son Jack. After Ralph's death in 1945, Jack led until 1969, when Kevin Rea assumed control. Kevin's son Glenn joined in 1990, continuing the family legacy.


The two firms continued working separately at the Bendigo Saleyards, now known as the Bendigo Livestock Exchange, from 1930 until 2008. On June 30, 2008, the two companies again came together in a merger to form the new firm McKean McGregor Pty Ltd.
