John Pidgeon
Sir John Allan Stewart Pidgeon (born 15 July 1926) is an Australian contractor and property developer. He and his sister, Valmai Pidgeon, have been involved with the Queensland construction industry since joining their father's business in the 1940s. Pidgeon was educated at the Anglican Church Grammar School.
==Career==
Their father's business, F. A. Pidgeon and Son Pty Ltd started in 1927, and Pidgeon joined the family company in 1946 after service in the AIF. His addition to the company, along with his sister Valmai, soon expanded the company's activities throughout Queensland, notably in the hotel and commercial building market. The continued success of the company left its mark on the skyline of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Key construction projects undertaken by the company are: The Brisbane Club; Waterfront Place; the Brisbane Transit Centre; the Broadbeach Monorail; The Oasis Shopping Centre and Hotel; The Suncorp Metway Building; the Stradbroke and Macleay Towers – Dockside; Cathedral Square; 313 Adelaide Street; and the Bank of Queensland Building. Pidgeon's leadership style in pursuit of great construction projects has made him one of the most respected figures in Queensland's construction industry.
Pidgeon served the wider community as a committee member of the Queensland Cancer Fund, chairman of the Salvation Army Advisory Board, and the Red Shield Appeal, as well as chairing the Queensland Master Builders Association, the Builders Registration Board, and subsequently founding chairman of the Building Services Authority. His passion for lifesaving has led to continued support of the Surf Lifesaving Association over many years.〔(Sir John Pidgeon ), 2009 inductee to the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame〕
