These enterprises include: broad-acre agriculture, grazing, feed lotting, feed milling, transport, fuel industry, earthmoving, property development, consultancy, and project funding.

George has had a long-term interest in renewable energy enterprises which led to his prime role as a founder of Australian Biodiesel Group Limited, until its listing in December 2005.  While developing the biodiesel manufacturing plant it became apparent that access to feedstock at a consistent and reasonable price was the key.
