History & Heritage
Ord said to Minnett, 'You're going to lose me as a client. Minnett asked, 'Have I done something wrong?' to which Ord replied, 'No, it's just that I'm starting my own business and I'd like you to join me.'
And so, 'Charles A Ord & Minnett' was formed in 1951.

Charles Ord & Jack Minnett
A wartime meeting of minds
'Charles Ord was larger than life with big-picture ideas, a really boisterous sort of guy' .... 'Jack Minnett was a charming and elegant man, just about the opposite to Charles Ord'
And so it was that Charles A Ord & Minnett was formed in 1951. Over the decades its name would change many times before once more becoming Ord Minnett, the name by which it is still known today.
