Partridge is regarded as intensely private and somewhat reclusive, his only recent media interview was with Spanish newspaper Cinco Dias[1] after his group's acquisition of the retailing group SEPU. Partridge currently heads Invicta Partners, a private equity firm based in Sydney, and he is understood to hold a number of investments throughout the Pacific and South America. Partridge closed the Spanish retail operations in 2002, facing intensive protests from employees and extensive media coverage.[2][3][4]

Personal

Partridge is known to fence, surf and be a strong supporter of the Rugby Union code. One of Partridge's quirks is that although his enterprises often retail alcohol, Partridge himself is, by personal choice, a strict teetotaler. Originally a military and pastoral family, it is understood Partridge's ancestors arrived in Australia from the United Kingdom in 1814.[5]

Partridge holds a Master of Business from the University of Newcastle, Australia.
