PF Formation

PF Formation is a family owned and operated business. The business was established in 1956 by Glen Graham with the initials PF coming from Glen’s wife name: Patricia Fay. By 1983 their sons, John and Paul, had taken over the business and commenced sand extraction at Maroota with John taking over the full management of the business in 2004. In 2016 John’s sons Joshua and Luke have taken over and are now running the business.

PF Formation has now been operating at Maroota since 1983.
