Tony Mannah: Three Decades with the Fahd Family

Since joining Alex Fahd in 1996, Tony has worked across renovations, property maintenance and tile operations, building a lasting connection with two generations of the family.

Tony’s story began in 1996, when he joined Alex Fahd, father of our CEO Marco, as part of the bathroom and tiling renovation team.

Over the years, his role evolved alongside the business. From renovations, Tony took responsibility for maintaining the showrooms and buildings within the family’s portfolio, including properties at Prospect, Bankstown, Castle Hill and Toongabbie.

Working across these locations gave Tony a firsthand view of the family’s growing business, while his contribution helped keep its day-to-day operations running.

An early chapter in the tile business

One memory that stands out for Tony is receiving the first shipment of tiles Marco ordered from overseas. It marked an important step in the early growth of the tile business, and Tony was there to help receive it.

Tony later joined Marco in the tile operation, managing the inbound and outbound movement of orders at Prospect. It was another chapter in his working relationship with the family, moving from working alongside Alex to supporting Marco as the business developed.

A lasting connection

For Tony, the most meaningful part of the past 30 years has been working with the family. Across different roles and locations, that relationship has remained a constant. He says he feels very much part of the family himself.

His story is part of our history, connecting the early renovation and tile businesses with the Group today.

Thank you, Tony, for your contribution over three decades and for the part you continue to play in our story.
