JOIN PAUL CAVE FOR BREAKFAST AT THE
QUEEN VICTORIA BUILDING

 

The 2008 Corporate Breakfast series is well underway. Our next guest speaker is Paul Cave - Chairman and Founder of BridgeClimb.

Paul Cave was born in 1945 in Newcastle where he attended Newcastle Boys High School. Completed a Commerce/ Economics degree part-time at the University of NSW, on a Commonwealth scholarship.

Following a career in Marketing and General Management for B & D Roll-A-Door, in 1974 at age 29, founded and created the Amber Group.  Amber became Australia’s largest tile and paving retailer. In 1996, sold his 100% interest in Amber to staff, via a management buy-out.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is particularly special to him because his late father-in-law, then as a teenager, lined up for two days from the 19th March 1932, the day the Bridge was opened, and purchased the first rail ticket sold to the public for crossing the Bridge on 20th March 1932 - ticket number 00001, from Wynyard Station to Milson’s Point. Having inherited this rail ticket, he will never forget the significance of this ticket, or indeed the journey it has subsequently taken him on.

In 1989 he helped conduct a YPO (Young Presidents Organisation) World Congress in Sydney, including a climb over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The personal dream to share the Summit of the Bridge with everyone, was born.

Finally, 9 years later, on October 1st 1998, BridgeClimb was officially launched. Paul is the Chairman and Founder of BridgeClimb.

In 2008 BridgeClimb was awarded the highest national tourism accolade, winning the Australian Tourism Award for Major Tourist Attractions.
