Munro Footwear Group celebrates founder Graham Munro s 70 years in the trade 26 April 2021
For Graham Munro, leaving school to pursue a career in business was always his ambition.
Earning a scholarship to the Myer business training program in 1951, that same year saw him transferred to the footwear department.
He’s been in the footwear industry ever since.
Over his eight valuable years at the Myer Emporium, Munro reflects on the early waves of globalisation. As interesting new international products started coming into the country, luckily for me, Myer didn’t know that a raffia sandal with a cork unit sole was actually a sandal, he chuckles, so they ended up in my slipper department.
