Source of Wealth
The wealth of the founding family, the Vukelic Group, originated with Paul Vukelic starting as a service station proprietor in 1956. This expanded into used and new car sales, and subsequently a diversified property portfolio across Western Australia's South West. The Vukelic Group also invests in industries such as retail, commercial, industrial properties, mining, technology, agriculture, beverage, and marine manufacturing.
