Why Multiplex?
Now in its 31st year, the Dr George Hondros Memorial Lecture honours the memory of celebrated Civil Engineer and UWA member of staff Dr George Hondros. This year's lecture features John Flecker, Global CEO of Multiplex and UWA Engineering Alumni, who will talk on "Why Multiplex has stood the test of time?" John will also share his insights on topics such as "Is bigger better?" and "What is great about the construction industry and what isn't." The presentation will be in the form of a conversation, chaired by Arthur Psaltis, CEO of Prichard Francis and a contemporary of John during his studies at UWA.
Q&A discussion
Following the lecture, there will be an opportunity for questions, discussion and networking.
