Mat Sainsbury, who began employment with John Moriarty in 1995, is the great grand son of Jack Sainsbury, a mechanical engineer by trade who established a well known business situated opposite the Ourimbah train station in the early 1950’s called “Sainsbury’s Garage”.
Offering mechanical repairs, fuel and household supplies it was regularly visited by locals and tourists passing through Ourimbah on their way north or south. It was also considered to be one of the first business’s on the Central Coast to include a “Milk Bar”.
Mat’s grandfather John Sainsbury, a retired mechanic with over 50 years experience, took over the business in the 60’s until it was sold in late 1976.
