Eddy Groves

businessman

Eddy Groves is a former Australian businessman and entrepreneur best known for founding ABC Learning Centres, which became one of the largest childcare providers in Australia. His aggressive expansion strategy in the early 2000s helped transform the childcare industry, but it was also criticized for prioritizing profits over staff professionalism and child safety. Following financial difficulties and a significant collapse of the company in 2008, Groves faced scrutiny over the quality of care provided at ABC Learning Centres. His role in the industry remains controversial, particularly in light of ongoing issues regarding child safety and regulatory compliance in childcare services, as highlighted by recent allegations of abuse in centres across Australia.
