Tasmanian Hospitality Review - April/May 2026

Corporate Partnerships Update

appetite there is for regional connection.

A huge thank you to Nick and Zoe from Tanda who hit the road with us and to the other six corporate partners who attended the Gateaway to Growth dinner and were part of our “speed dating with corps”: Robert Grant and Melissa Smith (Marsh Insurance), Mark Chiswell (Command 51), Bruno Palermo (Collins SBA), Paul French (Hostplus), Kerry Johnson (Complete Information Solutions), and Gleen Hill (Zero Payments) Nick Braban and Zoe Watson (Tanda). We hope our members and attendees found this space valuable. “You’ll be pleased to know our HR/Payroll team had a great Teams meeting with Alex from TANDA in Brisbane today, thanks to the connection with Nick at your event!”— Ashgrove Cheese

A New Stage for our Clubs

We are evolving how we celebrate the industry by moving the Clubs Awards into their own dedicated event. This allows us to properly recognise the work of Tom Darke and the unique contributions our clubs make to the community. We invite you to join us as a key partner in recognising the efforts of our broader club industry. Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open for our Major Corporate Partners, with priority access to 11 premier categories on a first-in, best-dressed basis.

Five Years of Support: PFD Food Services

Finally, a special mention to Tom McGinn and the team at PFD. Tom and his team are passionate operators who genuinely care about our island. PFD has supported this industry for over five years through their Partnership we Hospitality Tasmania delivering products and services that truly help your long-term margins. PFD is the only food distributor who brings all different suppliers from all over Australia for a three day trade show around the state. Our network continues to expand as we seek partnerships that offer real value to your membership.

Tanda: A Strategic Plan Forward

I want to personally thank Nick Braban and the Tanda team for their loyalty to our industry. After meeting with the team in Queensland, we have finalised a plan to significantly enhance our partnership. Tanda will now provide proactive HR and payroll tools, including templates and wage guides, specifically for the HT members’ portal. We are currently building the resources and finalising the formalities around this partnership and we’ll communicate when it is finalised and available for members. Because of this incredible commitment, I am proud to announce Tanda as our Major Naming Rights Sponsor for the 2026 Awards for Excellence.
