ARTICLE Nick Roney
W hat have i been up to ?
It’s now 6 months in my new role as Membership and Corporate Engagement Manager and to say that I’m enjoying the work along with the challenges would be an understatement. In this, my first article, I will endeavour to share with you some of the experiences I have had along the journey so far. I have been fortunate to have met some of you along the way along with those of you who attended our events especially our Awards of Excellence and late last year our two race meetings, one in Hobart and the night meeting in Launceston which was a great night. I am looking forward to meeting with you all over the coming months. Speaking of our Awards for Excellence, nominations will be sent out to you in February. Another event I attended which I found to be most beneficial to all who attended was the Procurer meets Producer event organised by our own Pete Handy. This facilitated event included guest speakers and case studies and gave those that attended, opportunities to have a say on what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to happen to create better connections between the producer and the procurer. Over the past 6 months, two events were held and it was good to see 84 attendees, which included hospitality venue operators and owners, chefs, front of house Managers and small farm producers. I travelled the state with the PFD Road show in October and I found this to be a great event and what an opportunity this roadshow is for our food industry, hotels, restaurants and cafes to have all these suppliers come to our area. For the accommodation providers who participate in the Occupancy Statistics sharing exercise, we are excited to be able to inform you we are adding projections/ forecasting to the information you all share so we do hope you will find that a welcome addition to the report you receive each month.
