Following his retirement, Ahern began a career in hospitality by obtaining the lease of the Mortlake Pub TAB. The successful creation of the Hamilton Sporting Club was his first major project from conception to completion from 1994 to 1997.
During the next five years Ahern managed major hospitality venues overseas and in Melbourne including the Skinny Dog Hotel, Crockford Bay Hotel and the Flower Hotel. In 2002 with a strong management background he moved into ownership, commencing with successful nightclub Aqua.
Ahern currently has interests in a number of hotels around Australia.
