Tell me a little bit about the history of the practice John and Jenny Cahill started the practice and established it. They must have had it for a good 20 years before I came here. I came as a new graduate from Massey University in 1994 and bought the practice in 2004. I was asked if I wanted to buy in. My initial thought was, “No I can’t do it”, then I sort of had a think about it and thought, “Actually, I can”. What helped you change your mind about ownership? I was very lucky to have family support to help me with the business side of things.
