History
DTZ's history dates back to 1784 with the founding of predecessor firm Cheshire Gibson in Birmingham, UK. A second predecessor firm, Debenham and Tewson was founded in London in 1853. A merger creates Debenham, Tewson & Chinnocks in 1913. In 1987 Debenham, Tewson & Chinnocks Holdings plc floats on the London Stock Exchange. The DTZ brand was created in 1993 following a joint venture with Jean Thouard of France and the Zadelhoff Group in Germany and the Netherlands; this was followed by a merger with Bernard Thorpe in the UK[1]. Following an equity exchange with Asian partners CY Leung & Co and Edmund Tie & Co, the DTZ brand is extended to Asia and the Holdings company is renamed DTZ Holdings plc in 1999. Since then DTZ had acquired other companies, such as Donaldsons LLP[2] and J. J. Barnicke Ltd[3].
