His expertise is founded on his family’s background in the grocery business. Michael’s father opened one of the first self-service supermarkets in Victoria.
In 1972 Michael developed the store into a modern day, full-line supermarket for the Coles Group. Subsequently Michael commenced acquiring sites and building supermarkets which were pre-leased to Australia’s leading retail chains, together with shopping centres principally on the east coast of Australia, many of which were pre-sold.
