Company History

TEMPLETONS was formed to provide life, disability and income protection insurance and estate planning advice when the late Bob Templeton joined forces with John Miller, Peter Lauder and Diarmid Mackiehan in 1982.

One of the reasons the group chose the name "Templetons" was due to Bob's reputation as a well-known Australian sporting identity in the world of Rugby Union and as a respected business leader particularly throughout Queensland and New South Wales. Templetons became a well known company with many people in the business and professional communities throughout Australia electing to use its services. 

Although Bob Templeton passed away on 5 December 1999, Templetons continued to prosper as new personnel joined the team. One of these was Anthony Jones who, in recent years, operated our financial strategy business in conjunction with John Miller and Peter Lauder.

In September 2010, Tranzact purchased a majority share of the business with Peter Lauder moving into well earned retirement but with John Miller and Anthony Jones continuing to provide their services to Templetons' clients and leadership to its staff.

With the support of a listed parent and with a new leadership team, Templetons is set to continue to build on the legacy that commenced almost 30 years ago.
