ABN GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR DALE ALCOCK IS AS MUCH AN ADVOCATE FOR HOME OWNERS AS HE IS FOR MAKING WA A GREAT PLACE TO CALL HOME. A third-generation home builder, Dale started his career as a bricklayer in the WA Wheatbelt. Since the ABN Group laid its first brick 40 years ago, Dale continues to guide the group through spectacular growth and success. His passion is built on keeping the dream of homeownership alive and seeing WA reach its full potential. This means challenging the status quo to match hurdles that face the building industry, home owners and customers. Today the company employs more than 1500 people and continues to be the largest private trainer of building apprentices. ABN has provided finance for more than 33,000 home owners, constructed $1 billion in commercial and residential development projects and has built a total of 75,000 homes across WA and Victoria. Dale can be contacted 24/7 directly on 0418 911 061 or (08) 9242 9270 or email dale@abngroup.com.au 3
