Hurstville Who's Who
Public Profile
Today, I lead a team of 13 from our Crows Nest office. I still personally oversee quality on every job, prepare larger quotes and tenders, and make sure the business runs the way I’d want it to if I were the customer. My goal is simple: build a trusted local brand where customers know they’ll be looked after, and where my team genuinely enjoys coming to work.
Since launching in 2018, AB Electrical has grown into one of Sydney’s highest-reviewed electrical companies, backed by more than 600 five-star reviews. This reflects a consistent commitment to customer satisfaction, clear communication, and doing the job right the first time.

Distinguished and Famous people from Hurstville
📚 Clive James
Writer and broadcaster Clive James attended Hurstville Opportunity School before further study in Sydney and at Cambridge. He became known for memoir, poetry and literary criticism as well as television, spending a decade as The Observer’s television critic. His later work included a translation of Dante’s Divine Comedy, published in 2013. Hurstville’s connection is the school that formed part of his early education. The range of his later writing extended considerably beyond the television absurdities he made such entertaining material from.
🏏 Bill O’Reilly
Bill O’Reilly moved to Hurstville in 1934 and joined St George District Cricket Club, giving the district a direct connection with one of Australia’s outstanding spin bowlers. He led St George to four successive premierships from 1939–40 and continued playing first-grade cricket until 1948–49. Internationally, his partnership with Clarrie Grimmett made life uncomfortable for opposing batsmen, with pace, accuracy and an elusive wrong’un among his weapons. After retiring from Test cricket he became a forceful and witty newspaper commentator. The Hurstville chapter combines a home with sustained club service, rather than relying on his national reputation alone.
✍️ Roland Robinson
Roland Robinson attended Hurstville Technical School, where an encouraging teacher helped awaken his interest in writing. Born in Ireland, he had come to Australia at nine and settled with his family at Carlton. He left school at fourteen and worked on country properties before becoming a poet whose writing drew strongly on Australian landscapes. His career also included ballet, book reviewing and collaboration with Aboriginal storytellers, whose contributions underpinned several published collections. Later honours included the Patrick White Award in 1988. Hurstville’s part in that varied life is a specific educational beginning: a teacher who encouraged a young writer before the books and awards.
