After a successful career in Banking and Real Estate, Mr AG Moufarrige decided to direct his entrepreneurial skills into his own venture.
As with any new business, he need an office, receptionist and secretarial support. He quickly realized that these costs were eating into his profits and that he was unable to keep this staff busy 100% of the time. He decided to investigate sharing space, sharing a receptionist, sharing a secretary - sharing the costs to reduce his overheads.
He first looked into shared space in Sydney back in 1976, but discovered that none existed.
This experience provided the seeds of the smart Servcorp business model.
