Harry Triguboff
MERITON [ 1963 – PRESENT ]
Born in the modern-day Chinese city of Dalian , Triguboff first moved to Sydney in 1947 and finally became a citizen in 1962 . After starting numerous small businesses and working odd jobs , including running a taxi company and a milk route , Triguboff formed Meriton in 1963 . He was inspired following experience he gained in the construction industry after a hired builder produced such poor work that Triguboff decided to re-do it himself . It has since gone on to be one of the biggest property developers in Australia . In 1990 , Triguboff was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to the construction industry and his philanthropy . Regarding the latter , Triguboff started his own foundation , which has funded projects and championed social causes throughout the country .
