Jock Serong on his Biography about Fletcher Jones to celebrate History Month

Janine speaks with Victorian writer Jock Serong in a Back to Chat episode where we talk about his biography 'A Suitable Man - the eccentric life of Fletcher Jones'

We talk about how Fletcher transformed Australian menswear through manufacturing high-quality, ready-made clothing using Australian wool and pioneered employee ownership, by giving staff a significant share in the company.

It was a fascinating look into his life and times and the perfect book to celebrate History month. I hope you enjoy!
