OVERVIEW
McNeil’s Surgical is 100% South Australian owned and operated. Malcolm McNeil commenced business in a time when the allies were steadily bringing to an end a world war that touched every Australian. He set up shop in the east end of Rundle Street on the northern side, close to the School of Medicine where many students came to buy books and diagnostic instruments, Malcolm’s knowledge of books and instruments was encyclopaedic. The Royal Adelaide Hospital which was close by purchased many surgical instruments in those times. Country hospitals were visited regularly by Malcolm and business flourished.
Malcolm sold the business in the early sixties to Arthur Searcy but continued to work in the business until his death in 1969. The business had grown substantially and was a leading supplier to medical practices and Hospitals throughout South Australia, still in the east end of Rundle Street but on the southern side amongst other low profile businesses of the day including a competitor D.H.A Anax.
History
Michael Woods and Tony Palmer joined the Company in the early seventies; the Company had again passed hands and was now owned by G.Chem. Co-operative, a pharmacy wholesaler with little knowledge of the medical industry. Michael and Tony saw a great opportunity for the future and so in 1975 purchased the business from G. Chem Co-operative.
Today McNeils are celebrating a quarter of a century of growth and are situated in a modern showroom facility at 29-31 Magill Road, Stepney. Our customers now encompass Medical practices, Specialists, Public and Private hospitals and Nursing Homes as well as the general public, who can purchase direct many health care products. A South Australian success story that has served and has had the support of the South Australian industry for over Fifty years. Thankyou South Australia
