OUR BUSINESS
Norm Lee and his family established Leeson Pty Ltd in 1960 and purchased their first cattle station, Brindley Park, in 1968. Trevor and Keri Lee later formed Australian Country Choice (ACC).
Today, the ACC Group exists as the world’s largest family-owned, vertically integrated cattle and beef supply chain organisation.
