Arthur Laundy’s Rise: The Man Behind Australia’s Biggest Pub Empire | Straight Talk Podcast

Описание: Arthur Laundy is one of Australia’s most respected publicans and business figures. As the driving force behind Laundy Hotels, a family-owned venture, he oversees a vast portfolio of pubs, hotels, and hospitality venues across the nation.

After the tragic passing of his father in 1969, Arthur, then just 28, stepped in to lead the family pub business. What started with two venues has grown into Australia’s largest privately-owned pub group, now boasting over 90 establishments—a testament to his vision and determination. In our conversation, we reflected on the profound loss of his father, his deep passion for the pub industry, and the critical role family has played in his journey.

You don’t want to miss the full, untold story of how Arthur and the Laundy family built Australia’s largest pub empire.
