In 1983, Julian Walter founded J-Corp Pty Ltd as managing director and chairman. Commencing his career as a trade representative with major brick group Calsil-Besser, Mr Walter then joined Perth’s most established builder Plunkett Homes as assistant to the marketing director; a role which expanded considerably over the coming years. After seven years with Plunkett he then joined AV Jennings Homes, a public-listed and nationwide housing group. A difference of opinion on the future of AV Jennings in Western Australia led Mr Walter to adopt his own business plan, culminating in the formation of J-Corp. Over the following 20 years, brands and subsidiaries were added to J-Corp. After reviewing future direction, Mr Walter sold his half of J-Corp to BGC (Australia) in 2003 to start JWH Group.
