Harry was born in Melbourne in 1910 and as a young man worked for Lauritz Hansen and Otto Yuncken - Hansen Yuncken. In 1939 Harry relocated his young family to Adelaide to manage the construction of the Bank of New South Wales building on the corner of North Terrace and King William streets, now the location of the iconic 2KW rooftop bar and restaurant.
Harry then laid down solid foundations, establishing the Hansen Yuncken business in the South Australian market for the next 20 years and made Adelaide home. In 1961 Harry established H.F. Sarah & Sons, a lifelong ambition to build for himself (now Sarah Constructions). The first contract awarded was to build Thomas Hardy & Sons a new Tintara House Office Building and Champagne Cellars at Mile End.

The $240M SA Schools Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a complex project involving multiple teams and stakeholders.
