Edmund Stuart "Eddy" Groves (born 16 June 1966) is an Australian businessman, founder and former chief executive officer of ABC Learning, once one of Australia's largest companies and one of the world's biggest childcare providers prior to going into administration. In January 2013 Groves was declared bankrupt. ==Early life== Eddy Groves was born in Durban, South Africa to a soldier and a schoolteacher. The family returned to Canada in late 1966. A further relocation found the family on the West Coast (Victoria, British Columbia) in July 1968. Groves arrived in Australia by 1970 and settled in Queensland, Australia. He was educated at Padua College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Businessman Eddy Groves )〕 After leaving school, he enrolled at university in a business degree, but left half way through, eager to engage in business rather than learn about it, and got his first job as a clerk with the ANZ bank.〔 〕 Later he became a milkman for Paul's Milk in Brisbane. Armed with a loan from his wife's father he bought a distributorship when he was nineteen years old which was the start of his business career. He expanded his milk distribution business to the point where his company Quantum Food is now the biggest distributor of milk in Queensland.〔 In 1985, at the age of nineteen, Groves married Le Neve, with whom he has two daughters. The couple split in the late 1990s leaving his wife to care for the two children. His wife is suing her former husband for "unjustly enriching himself" while he was in control of ABC. Groves left ABC with a multibillion-dollar〔 debt amidst allegations of poor financial management and related party financial dealings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eddy Groves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
