Blue Ribbon High Performance by Chris Webb with Greg Maguire
from Blue Ribbon High Performance with Chris Webb · host Blue Ribbon High Performance
From leaving school at 15 in Armidale to building a multi-industry empire, Greg Maguire’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. What began in menswear quickly evolved into a relentless pursuit of growth, with Greg launching multiple businesses before transforming regional hospitality. In 1986, he opened The Powerhouse Tamworth, setting a new benchmark as the first 4-star motel in country NSW. Today, it stands as the only 5-star hotel in Tamworth, a testament to his vision and commitment to excellence. But Greg didn’t stop there. From developing a 5-star boutique hotel in Brisbane, to building a thriving pastoral enterprise spanning over 29,500 acres and running up to 14,000 head of cattle, his impact across industries is unmatched. A leader in every sense, Greg has helped shape the region through roles with Tourism Tamworth, AELEC and TRECC - while building a legacy business now carried forward by his family. He describes himself simply as a “passionate hotelier, not a farmer” - but this episode reveals the mindset, discipline and ambition behind a lifetime of high performance.
