In 1952, Mervyn Victor Richardson a New south Wales engineering sales man built a simple petrol driven mower with spinning blades. Richard’s mower which he named Victa was light powerful and simple to use. A Victa mower costs about 40 pounds and most australians earned about 30 pounds a week. Yet so many people bought so many Victa lawnmowers that Richard quit his job and worked full time to make mowers By 1955 Richardson had 100 people working for him. By 1992 the Victa company had sold five million Victa lawn mowers - in Australia and overseas.
