b'CHAPTER 08MGA REBORNI n 1995, MGA became MGA AIBA. One of51the EPAS directors who voted to oust John George was now a board member, a turn of events that riled John. Having been pushed out, he was slowly seeing his company slip through his fingers. Doggedly, he hung on.With the support of Allan, Brian, Kym Bache, John Will, Grant Harris, Terry Daly and others, John was determined to return to the business. Even though he was exiled, his shareholding still gave him some power. He was still the G in MGA.Fortunately, Whittles gave him a financial powerbase. The strata management business was doing well, and with the move towards urban consolidation and apartment construction in Australian capital cities, it was set to continue growing. More units meant more strata titles and more body corporates to manage.Discussions with Allan and Brian resulted in many plans about how they could regain control of MGA. Plenty of dead ends were explored. John eventually devised an audacious plan to buy AIBA out of the business.'
