Fourth Generation Innovation: Barrie Arnold Joins the Family Business

1965 marked another milestone in the Arnold family legacy as Barrie Arnold, Earle's son, became the first fourth-generation member to join the business. His entry and swift elevation to partner status in the same year signaled a new era of modernization for Arnold's.

During his fifteen-year tenure, Barrie brought fresh perspectives and implemented significant changes that helped modernize various aspects of the business. His innovative approach demonstrated how each new generation could build upon the foundation laid by their predecessors while adapting to changing times.

After departing Arnold's in 1980, Barrie's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish Albury's first McDonald's restaurant, showing that the business acumen cultivated within the Arnold family could succeed in new ventures beyond the produce trade.
