Discovery Session - The Bunning Brother

Tom Bunning helped make Bunnings one of the great successes of WA private enterprise and a household name nationwide.

Tom joined Bunnings on the eve of the Great Depression and helped save the company from collapse. After three and half of years as a POW in Changi, he returned to Bunning Bros and remained at its helm throughout the long post-war boom, before laying the foundations for the eventual takeover of Bunnings by Wesfarmers in 1991.

The presenter, Dr Christensen, is a historian at UWA and Tom Bunning’s biographer.
