The PAS Group is comprised of eight brands, including Yarra Trail, Breakaway, Designworks, The Hopkins Group, Capelle, Fiorelli, Review and Metalicus, that represents a diversity of demographics and sectors. "Whichever way you look at it, we're a very diversified organization and that has been our bottom line," he says in the interview.
