History
In 1959, Ralph Tonkin established a laboratory testing and engineering consulting company Geotechnics Ltd, with technical input from Professor Peter Taylor of University of Auckland. In 1961, Ralph Tonkin and Don Taylor formed a partnership named Tonkin + Taylor.[2] The partnership was active in many engineering projects in New Zealand and Asia, and founded an office in Malaysia in the 1970s.
In 1981, the partnership was restructured into a limited liability company, which has grown into an employee owned company.[3]
