RUTHERFORD & BOND LIMITED
Rutherford & Bond Limited is a New Zealand limited company registered on the New Zealand Companies Register under company number 133520, with New Zealand Business Number 9429031876919. Its register status is Registered, and its entity type is recorded as "NZ Limited Company". The company was incorporated on 28 March 1972 under the Companies Act 1955 and re-registered under the Companies Act 1993 on 17 June 1997. Its registered office and address for service are at 54 Kent Terrace, Mount Victoria, Wellington 6011.
The company is a motor vehicle retailer. Its NZBN record classifies it under G391110, "Car dealer — new and/or used (including associated vehicle servicing)", and registers three trading names: Rutherford & Bond Toyota, King Toyota and Lexus of Wellington. The same record lists its trading areas as Wellington City, Lower Hutt City, Upper Hutt City, Porirua City and Kapiti Coast District. Rutherford & Bond Limited therefore operates as a franchised new and used vehicle dealership with associated servicing, parts and vehicle finance, concentrated in the greater Wellington region rather than nationally.
The company’s own website, rutherfordandbond.co.nz, redirects to a dealer page on Toyota New Zealand’s site and states that the business has represented Toyota in the Wellington region since 1991, with branches at Kapiti, Porirua, Wellington Central, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt offering new and used Toyota vehicles, servicing by Toyota-trained technicians, genuine parts and Toyota finance products. The register’s most recent annual return for Rutherford & Bond Limited was filed on 15 October 2025, and a revocation and adoption of a new constitution was filed on 17 June 2022.
Data availability
Registry coverage for this company is full: identity, status, incorporation date, addresses, constitution history and a 79-item document index are all published free of charge. No financial statements appear among those documents, and a company of this type is not generally required to file them in New Zealand, so entity-level revenue, profit and employee numbers are not publicly available and none are stated here. A Registered status on the New Zealand register means the company has not been removed; it is not evidence that the company is trading, solvent or compliant. A search of the New Zealand Gazette returned no notice of intention to remove, no removal notice and no liquidation or receivership notice for this company; the same search form was first shown to return a known removal notice, so the nil result reflects the register rather than a failed query.
Two defects in the profile data behind this page should be noted. The stored legal form, "Private limited company (Ltd.)", is a generic label rather than the register’s own entity type, which is "NZ Limited Company" under the Companies Act 1993. The stored incorporation date, 1972-03-28, was checked against the register and is correct — it is a real filed date, not a year-only placeholder. The page title is also rendered with an HTML entity, "RUTHERFORD & BOND LIMITED"; the value stored in the database is correct, and the entity is introduced when the title is displayed.

Shareholders of Rutherford & Bond Limited
New Zealand publishes the complete share allocation table for every registered company, and for Rutherford & Bond Limited it shows 1,900,000 shares divided into five allocations held by six shareholders. The most recent Particulars of Shareholding was filed on 21 August 2025, and the register was last updated on 15 October 2025. Two corporate shareholders hold the largest positions — William Mae George Limited with 38% and Milton Bond Limited with 37% — and no single shareholder holds a majority.
| Allocation | Shares | % of 1,900,000 | Shareholder(s) | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 722,000 | 38.00% | WILLIAM MAE GEORGE LIMITED (NZ 811901) | Company |
| 2 | 703,000 | 37.00% | MILTON BOND LIMITED (NZ 6033288) | Company |
| 3 | 190,000 | 10.00% | Craig Andrew MARTIN and Judy Alison CHAN — one allocation held jointly | Individuals (joint) |
| 4 | 190,000 | 10.00% | D C VENTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED (NZ 4959040) | Company |
| 5 | 95,000 | 5.00% | Richard Allen DEVERY | Individual |
All holdings are direct and in a single ordinary share class. The register also lists seven former shareholders, who ceased on 12 September 2016 (three) and 6 October 2017 (four).
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner of Rutherford & Bond Limited can be verified from public sources, and none is asserted here. New Zealand operates no public beneficial ownership register, and the ownership chain above each corporate shareholder stops at a joint holding to which the register attributes no individual percentage:
- William Mae George Limited (38% of Rutherford & Bond Limited) has 500,000 shares in a single allocation of 100%, held jointly by Karen Jillian Prescott, Timothy Martin Prescott and Mical Shane Jervis Treadwell. Its register record shows a previous shareholder, the Prescott Family Trust, which ceased on 24 February 2012.
- Milton Bond Limited (37%) has 100 shares in a single allocation of 100%, held jointly by Angelique Mitchell, Hunter Mitchell and Treadwells Trustees 20 Limited, a corporate co-holder.
- D C Venture Holdings Limited (10%) has 135,000 shares in a single allocation of 100%, held jointly by Derek Tilyard, Hannah Bachelor and Hayden Yardley.
Because each of these is one joint allocation rather than separate per-person holdings, no effective percentage can be multiplied through the chain for any named individual, and the register does not record whether any of these shares are held on trust or who any beneficiaries are. Richard Allen Devery’s 5% direct holding is the only natural-person holding on the register with a determinable percentage, and it is below any common beneficial-ownership threshold.
Data availability
Direct shareholder information is Full: the New Zealand register publishes every allocation, the shares in each, the percentage and every holder’s name. Beneficial ownership is Not public: New Zealand maintains no beneficial ownership or PSC register, so the absence of a named ultimate beneficial owner is a limit of the jurisdiction’s disclosure and is not evidence that the company has none.
The shareholder data supplied to this page by the upstream provider does not match the register and should not be relied on. It stores five rows against a stated total of six and is truncated at page one of two. Milton Bond Limited, the second-largest shareholder at 37% and 703,000 shares, is absent from it entirely. It also splits allocation 3 — one joint holding of 190,000 shares, or 10%, held by Craig Andrew Martin and Judy Alison Chan together — into two separate rows of 95,000 shares at 5% each, which are not holdings that exist on the register. The three provider rows that are correct are William Mae George Limited at 38%, D C Venture Holdings Limited at 10% and Richard Allen Devery at 5%. The figures published above are taken from the register’s own allocation table and reconcile exactly to the 1,900,000 shares in issue.

Directors and officers of Rutherford & Bond Limited
The New Zealand Companies Register records two current directors of Rutherford & Bond Limited and five former director appointment records covering four individuals. Under the Companies Act 1993 a New Zealand limited company has no statutory company secretary, and the register publishes no officer role other than director, so "director" is the only legal office disclosed for this company.
The current directors are Timothy Martin Prescott, appointed on 19 June 1996, and Hunter Dougal Mitchell, appointed on 27 November 2020. The former appointments are Jan Scott Rutherford (4 August 1986 to 19 June 1996, and a second record running 23 August 1988 to 22 October 1993), Garth Hamilton Gould and George Arthur Churchill Gould (both ceasing 19 June 1996), and David Athol Hamilton Brown (23 August 1988 to 30 October 1992). All five former appointment records ended on or before 19 June 1996 — three of them on that exact date, which is also the day Timothy Martin Prescott was appointed — so the board has changed once in the past three decades, on 27 November 2020. The register itself warns that appointment dates before February 1993 may record when the information was entered on the database rather than the actual appointment.
Recent officer changes
- 27 November 2020 — appointment. Hunter Dougal Mitchell appointed a director. Particulars of Director and a Director Consent form were filed on 30 November 2020. Source: New Zealand Companies Register, directors and documents tabs.
- 15 August 2024 — Particulars of Director filed. The register’s current director list is unchanged by this filing; it records an update to existing director particulars rather than an appointment or cessation. Source: New Zealand Companies Register, documents tab.
No cessation has been recorded since 19 June 1996.
Data availability
Officer information for New Zealand is Full: the register publishes current and former directors with appointment and cessation dates, consent forms and full legal names. Nationality is Not disclosed — the New Zealand Companies Register has no citizenship or nationality field for directors, and it is not inferred here from a name or an address. No date of birth is published. The register does publish each director’s residential address; those addresses are personal information and are deliberately withheld from this page.
The officer data supplied to this page by the upstream provider differs from the register in four ways. It stores seven rows and flags three as active, but two of those three are the same person — Timothy Prescott appears twice, in different letter case, with the same 19 June 1996 appointment date — so the active count is 3 where the register shows 2 directors. It omits Jan Scott Rutherford’s earlier 1986 appointment record. It stores only first and last names, dropping the middle names by which the register identifies these individuals. And it gives no job title other than "Director", which is correct for this company but would not be for every New Zealand entity type.

Group Structure
Group structure of Rutherford & Bond Limited
Rutherford & Bond Limited is part of a small, entirely New Zealand corporate structure. Its register record names William Mae George Limited (company number 811901, NZBN 9429038303418) in the ultimate holding company field, a declaration first filed on 27 October 2015. William Mae George Limited is also the company’s largest direct shareholder, with 38% of the 1,900,000 shares in issue. The register does not state the basis on which it is recorded as the ultimate holding company, and a 38% shareholding is not by itself control, so the declaration is reported here as filed rather than interpreted.
The company has one verified direct subsidiary: Service Depot Wellington Limited (company number 8136003, NZBN 9429048751056), incorporated on 30 October 2020, in which Rutherford & Bond Limited holds 105,000 of 140,000 shares, or 75%. That relationship is corroborated from both sides — it appears in Rutherford & Bond Limited’s own register shareholding record, and Service Depot Wellington Limited’s register record names Rutherford & Bond Limited as its ultimate holding company. The remaining 25% is held by an individual shareholder. No other current corporate relationship involving Rutherford & Bond Limited is recorded on the register. All entities in the structure are New Zealand limited companies registered in Wellington.

Recent structural changes
- 30 October 2020 — Service Depot Wellington Limited incorporated; Rutherford & Bond Limited’s 75% holding is recorded on the register, with the current allocation confirmed by a Particulars of Shareholding filed on 20 December 2022.
- 30 June 2018 — Kent Terrace Properties Limited removed from the register, ending William Mae George Limited’s 100% holding in it.
- 15 September 2017 — MTA Dealer Magazine Limited removed from the register, ending Rutherford & Bond Limited’s 4% shareholding in it.
Data availability
Corporate linkage information for New Zealand is Full for ownership that runs through registered companies: the register publishes each company’s shareholdings, the shareholdings held in other companies, and a filed ultimate holding company declaration. It is silent on trusts and on beneficial ownership, so the structure above is complete as to corporate relationships only.
The group tree supplied to this page by the upstream provider holds two nodes. It is correctly rooted at Rutherford & Bond Limited with Service Depot Wellington Limited as a child, but it carries no ownership percentage, it omits William Mae George Limited — the company’s own declared ultimate holding company — entirely, and its identifiers are New Zealand company numbers ("NZ 133520", "NZ 8136003") rather than the NZBN held in the registration number field of this profile.

William Mae George Limited holds 722,000 shares (38%), Milton Bond Limited 703,000 (37%), Craig Andrew Martin and Judy Alison Chan hold 190,000 (10%) jointly in a single allocation, D C Venture Holdings Limited holds 190,000 (10%) and Richard Allen Devery 95,000 (5%).

Who is RUTHERFORD & BOND LIMITED's UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?
No ultimate beneficial owner of Rutherford & Bond Limited can be verified, and none is named here. New Zealand operates no public beneficial ownership or PSC register. Each corporate shareholder above the company is itself held through a single joint allocation — William Mae George Limited 100% jointly by Karen Jillian Prescott, Timothy Martin Prescott and Mical Shane Jervis Treadwell; Milton Bond Limited 100% jointly by Angelique Mitchell, Hunter Mitchell and Treadwells Trustees 20 Limited; D C Venture Holdings Limited 100% jointly by Derek Tilyard, Hannah Bachelor and Hayden Yardley — and a joint allocation carries no per-person percentage, so no effective ownership can be calculated through the chain. The only natural person with a determinable percentage is Richard Allen Devery, with a 5% direct holding.

A New Zealand limited company has no statutory company secretary, and the register discloses no nationality or date of birth for directors. The officer feed behind this page lists Timothy Prescott twice in different letter case, so it shows three active directors where the register shows two.
