ABOUT US
The family
poultry
business,
Inghams
Enterprises,
was
founded
in 1918.
When Walter Ingham Sr purchased 42 acres of bush land in what is now known as Casula in Western Sydney as a gift to his 18-year-old son, Walter Ingham Jr an apprentice mechanic, who wanted to be a farmer and embarked on a fruit and vegetable farming venture before moving into the poultry business.
Starting with just one cockerel and six hens, his laying business endured the war years and Great Depression but grew into a profitable local business with over 1,000 birds. After his death in 1953, Walter’s two sons, Jack and Bob Ingham took over the small breeding operation and expanded the business through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions.
In 1961, the company built its first processing plant at Hoxton Park in Western Sydney to service supply arrangements with major retail and quick service restaurant customers.

By the mid-1960s, new styles and techniques of packaging and processing led to the company’s rapid expansion and development of the Australian poultry industry. The business subsequently entered into the production of turkey and stockfeed, and enhanced its processing capabilities to cater to changing consumer preference towards value-enhanced poultry products.
OUR HISTORY
Within the Inghams Enterprises poultry business, assets were retired as the urban growth boundary approached.
This land was redeveloped into its highest and best uses by an internal property development team.
In 2013, Inghams Enterprises was sold to private equity group TPG Capital. Following the sale, fourth generation family members retained the property development business with 900 hectares across seven prime sites located throughout Australia with the intention to develop these into a long-term recurring income producing property business known as Ingham Property Group.
Over multiple decades of ongoing expansion and success, Inghams Enterprises grew its operations and acquired a significant portfolio of strategic property assets spanning Australia and New Zealand.

After witnessing the dedication and professionalism of Liverpool Hospital towards their mother’s health and care, Bob and Jack Ingham offered to help Liverpool Hospital by building a research institute. The vision was to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in Sydney’s southwest and beyond.

On 23 October 2012 the Ingham Institute was opened, creating a world class, state-of-the-art research precinct in the centre of Liverpool. The Ingham family has continued to support the Institute, recognised today as a research leader in the southern hemisphere, with over 400 researchers.
