Inspirational speaker Danielle Colley will be presenting at the Women in Packaging Awards lunch on 21 June in Sydney, where industry will gather to recognise the achievements of finalists and winners for 2024.

Danielle Colley is a coach, speaker and author of the soon-to-be-released The Chocolate Bar Life. She helps successful women to find greater balance with sustainable ambition and holistic success.

Colley says, "Doing what you love is achievable for everyone who has the audacity to envisage and then create it, not just a lucky few."

As a former journalist for many of Australia’s most significant publications and a hustling single mum, Danielle understands the impact that stress and anxiety play on your ability to reach your full potential.

Apart from giving us a taste of what the 'chocolate bar life' entails, Colley promises to surprise and delight the audience as she provides insights into, among other things, why we need to fail, and how to overcome limiting thoughts as we strive to achieve career goals while maintaining a healthy, balanced life.

The Women in Packaging Awards luncheon, powered by PKN, will take place on 21 June at The Gallery—Beta, Level 1/238 Castlereagh St, Sydney. Celebrations start at 12 noon and run until 4.30pm. Tickets can be booked here, and with limited room in the venue, it's advisable to secure your spot soon!

Sydney Brewery has acquired the Rocks Brewing Company’s production facilities and venue in Alexandria, and plans to open a new Lovedale brewhouse by Easter, citing a massive increase in demand for its products as the reason for expansion.

The Arnott’s Group says its latest multi-million-dollar manufacturing facility will fuel the company’s growth ambitions in the better-for-you market segment. It will house Good Food Partners, Arnotts’ cereals, snacks and bars business.
