Why are we called 'Wintringham'? The company honours the name of Tiny Wintringham, a homeless man who resided at the original Gordon House in Little Bourke Street, Melbourne. Gordon House was one of Victoria's notorious night shelters where homeless people were given a bed for the night. When it appeared that Gordon House was to be closed, Tiny gathered support from government, unions and the media which resulted in Gordon House being rebuilt on the banks of the Yarra River. This new building has now since closed, but Tiny’s successful fight against what appeared to be insurmountable obstacles, continues to inspire the company that has been named in his honour.
