The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Mr. G. E. Thorley

Mr. G. E. Thorley, Manager of the Auckland Farmers' Co-operative Society, Limited, has devoted many years to the study of the advantages which accrue from co-operation, and in the Auckland province has done much to open the eyes of producers and consumers to the great benefits which unity of operation can lead to. Mr. Thorley was born in 1870, at Bedford Leigh, Lancashire, England, and was educated there in the public schools. In Manchester he learned the business he is now pursuing, and was engaged there for eleven years in one of the leading co-operative societies. The experience and practical knowledge thus gained have been of inestimable benefit to him in connection with his present operations. Mr. Thorley is one of the directors of the New Zealand Commercial Exchange Company, Limited.
