Turner & Company has a pedigree dating back to 1957 with the establishment of an office by Bernard Thorpe & Partners in Maylord Street, Hereford. The office relocated to Thorpe House in the early 1960’s and operated as a truly general practice firm of surveyors for many years. In the early 1990’s Bernard Thorpe & Partners merged with Debenham Tewson & Chinnocks to form DTZ Debenham Thorpe. In 1999 Jon Turner purchased the commercial property practice from DTZ to establish Turner & Company.
