Bridge Real Estate Pty Ltd was established over 50 years ago, in 1963, by Allan Bridge. Not long after, the Harbour Bridge design became incorporated into the name and has since become synonymous with property on the Northern Beaches. Bill Sumner, who had worked with Allan Bridge, took over as Principal in1982. Bill Ryder joined Bridge and subsequently became the Principal in 1990. During that period the business grew to become the dominant force in Industrial and Commercial property on the Northern Beaches and drew recognition from the greater Sydney Region for its local knowledge, level of expertise and service. Narelle Atack who was also a Director and part owner became THE recognised specialist in her field and also oversaw all Sales, Leasing, Asset Management and Strata Management. The Bridge name disappeared for a few years. However, it seems the 'big is best' approach of nationally branded groups has had its day. What most people want is to deal with someone who is an integral part of the business, has expert local knowledge and experience, and do what they say they will do.
