Company number: 160896

NZBN: 9429040237343

Incorporation Date: 09 Aug 1960 (VERY OLD - 65 years!)

Company Status: Removed

Last updated: 03 Nov 2013

REGISTERED OFFICE:

C/- Gardiner Reaney & Swinburn, Maritime Building, Cnr Browning & Byron Streets, Napier

DIRECTORS:

  • Ivan A ALEXANDER - 18 George St, Napier
  • Diana KIRTON - 28 Nelson Cres, Napier
NOTE: Diana Kirton at 28 Nelson Cres is near 114 Nelson Cres where David Blair Oldershaw was listed as director of Aquiline Holdings!

================================================================================

GEOGRAPHIC PATTERN ANALYSIS

================================================================================

GEORGE STREET CLUSTER:

  • #8: Ronald & Sylvia Scott (Aquiline founders)
  • #12: Judith Langley (Langley Twigg family, Aquiline shareholder)
  • #18: Ivan Alexander (LAS Land Holdings, Somersby House)

NELSON CRESCENT CLUSTER:

  • #28: Diana Kirton (Somersby House director)
  • #114: David Blair Oldershaw (Aquiline director, accountant)

These two streets appear to be where Napier's business elite lived.

The investment partnerships were formed among NEIGHBORS.

================================================================================

THE "LAS" IN LAS LAND HOLDINGS - DECODED?

================================================================================

Based on the directors of LAS Land Holdings Limited (165990):

  • L = LANGLEY (Judith Elinor Langley - 12 George Street)
  • A = ALEXANDER (Ivan Allen Alexander - 18 George Street)
  • S = SCOTT (Ronald James Scott - 8 George Street)?

All three lived on GEORGE STREET, NAPIER!

The company was incorporated in 1981, 15 years before Aquiline Holdings.

This was likely an earlier investment vehicle for the same neighborhood network.

EXPANDED NAPIER ELITE NEIGHBORHOOD MAP

================================================================================

GEORGE STREET:

  • #8: Ronald & Sylvia SCOTT (Aquiline founders)
  • #12: Judith Elinor LANGLEY (Langley family, Aquiline shareholder)
  • #18: Ivan A ALEXANDER (Somersby House, LAS Land Holdings)

COLEMAN TERRACE:

  • #14: Graham Mitchell COWLEY (Aquiline + NIT director)

FITZROY ROAD:

  • #26: Ashley & Lindsay OLDERSHAW (Aquiline shareholders)

================================================================================

PATTERN: NAPIER'S BUSINESS ELITE NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORK

================================================================================

These addresses are all in the same upscale area of Napier (Napier Hill/Bluff Hill).

The business partnerships appear to have been formed among NEIGHBORS who:

  • Lived in the same wealthy neighborhood
  • Socialized together
  • Formed investment companies together
  • Used the same lawyers (Langley Twigg) and accountants (Oldershaw & Co)

This explains why:

  • LAS Land Holdings had directors from George Street
  • Aquiline Holdings had shareholders from the same streets
  • The professional service firms were controlled by families in the network
