- The Ansett Family Part 1
E1The Ansett Family Part 1How much does a father owe his family? Sir Reginald Ansett was the son and grandson of Victorian transport pioneers. With extraordinary leadership he built Ansett Airlines into one of Australia's leading companies. But this man, who commanded the unswerving loyalty of his workers and family, left his own children with comparatively little. Today, the airline he built is only a memory. And the fortune he created has been placed outside his descendents' reach. This is the remarkable story of Australia's last great aviation baron, an extraordinary legacy and the family he left behind - The McGuigan Family
E4The McGuigan FamilyThis is the tale of how a poor family of Hunter Valley wine labourers became Australia’s third largest wine company. It is the story of great success and personal tragedy. Brian and Fay McGuigan devoted their lives to building Wyndham Estate into one of the world’s most recognisable wine businesses. Then, in 1990, the unthinkable happened. Their 21-year-old daughter died of cancer and, in a hostile takeover, they lost their company. Out of despair, the McGuigans fought back. Once again, hard work came to the rescue – and together the family built a new multi-million dollar wine empire. But today the McGuigans must face a new truth: that work can no longer be the family’s salvation.
