About
A patient, long-term owner of businesses
Merri-Lachlan Enterprises is a privately owned Australian company based in Canberra. We aim to be a careful and patient owner of good businesses, measuring our work in decades rather than quarters.
We believe capital is entrusted to us, not simply possessed. That conviction shapes how we work: with honesty, prudence and respect for the people who build and run the businesses we are involved with, and with an eye to the good those businesses can do in the wider community.
