The firm was founded by William Willett, whose son, also William, originated the idea of summer time. The Willett motto "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might" was exemplified by Mr Minter throughout his long life. In 1920 the firm was incorporated as a private limited company and Mr Minter became the first managing director, which office he retained until his retirement in December 1950, when he became consultant to the company until his death. He was a founder member of the Incorporated Society of Auctioneers and Landed Property Agents, and was elected to the council in 1928, the year of his chairmanship of the London branch. He was president of the society in 1935-36 and was also one of its trustees and the honorary treasurer. Until recently he was also a member of the Chartered Auctioneers' Institute. His chief interest outside the profession was tennis. He was president of the Magpie Lawn Tennis Club, Ealing, for many years. Latterly he became a keen gardener. He leaves a widow and a son.
