ABOUT
US
The first Vos office began in the 1960’s with the
founder, Mr Roelf Vos, purchasing a corner milk bar in Launceston,
Tasmania. From the beginning of this small corner store, Mr
Vos went on to introduce self service shopping to northern Tasmania
and grew the business into a chain of 10 supermarkets, employing
over 500 people. In 1982 the supermarket operations were sold
to Woolworths.
In 1983 Mr Vos and his eldest son, Michael, began developing
the Grindelwald Swiss Village and Holiday Resort. His second
son, Harry, joined them in 1989.
The family progressively sold off its older supermarkets and
shopping centres as its focus turned towards property development
however the family still owns the flagship property being Prospect
Vale Marketplace.
In June 1997, the family acquired one of Tasmania’s leading
construction companies, cb&m Laver. The company was restructured
and was renamed Vos Construction & Joinery Pty Ltd and enjoyed
several years undertaking many substantial developments before
selling that entity to Michael in 2007.
OUR CULTURE
The late Mr Vos was a man committed to Christian principles
and often reminded people that his success was due to his trust
and dependence in God. The Vos family has followed in their
father’s footsteps and has also developed a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ.
It is out of this relationship that our Vision was born. It
is also the reason that the Vos Foundation exists.
