Markets In A Nutshell

Foord Turns 40

Foord opened its doors for business on 1 October 1981 in Market House, Greenmarket Square. Then known as Foord & Meintjes, founders Dave Foord and Liston Meintjes were joined by receptionist Loretta Macleod (retired 2020). The company became Foord Asset Management in 2001, after Liston’s emigration.
