Guardian was formed in 2004 to expand the opportunities for investors to participate in the growth of the property sector in Queensland. In March 2007, Australia’s only publicly listed property valuation company, LandMark White (ASX Code: LMW), through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a majority shareholding in Guardian to allow them to diversify from their core valuation business into property related areas which are seen a natural adjunct.
The LandMark White group comprise LMW Residential, LMW Research and LMW Quantity Surveyors who work in both the commercial and residential property markets throughout Australia, while LMW Business Advisory provides specialist business valuations. LandMark White Limited operates in 4 states, with 17 business units in 13 offices and 200 staff, valuing in the order of $50 billion of commercial property and $15 billion of residential property annually.
To date, every offer we have made to our investors has returned them their principal and interest in accordance with the applicable offer document. We look forward to inviting existing and new investors to participate in a number of investment opportunities that reflect our creed "Protecting your Investment”.
