Theo Maras is a prominent figure in Australia's business community. Born in Ikaria, Greece, in 1948, he migrated to Australia in 1952. From humble beginnings, Theo built an empire, notably transforming Adelaide's East End and chairing the Adelaide Central Market Authority. He is the founder and chairman of Maras Group and a founding member of the Foundation for Hellenic Studies. Theo's service to the community and the property sector earned him membership in the Order of Australia.
