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!

 

Food & Drink Business

Our Top 100 2025 edition of Food & Drink Business magazine is more than the annual flagship Top 100 Report. Industry leaders reflect on the year past and the one ahead, we provide our annual news review, M&A wrap-up, and all the executive moves, and a Roman-inspired sports drink, Posca, is our final Rising Star for 2025.

A blend of salt, red wine vinegar, and water – known as Posca – was the ‘original sports drink’, helping to keep the soldiers of the Roman Empire marching up to 30 kilometres per day. Keira Joyce spoke with Posca Hydrate co-founders, Merrick Watts and Ed Stening, about reviving a 2000-year-old functional beverage for the modern healthy lifestyle.

From the big deals to the quiet divestments, Food & Drink Business editor, Kim Berry, recounts the mergers and acquisitions of 2025.
