Alex Iaconelli and Frederica Puttick from our FMCG team were invited to attend Fine Food Australia's 2024 Expo yesterday, a networking event that connects wholesale suppliers with customers and showcases the latest innovations in the food service industry. They listened to insightful discussions from Darren Robertson (Three Blue Ducks), Julian Cincotta (Butter Sydney & Betizen), and Henrique Marcello Turra (Radish Events) all focused on sustainability and reducing food waste within their businesses —a growing priority within the food service industry. From creative ways to minimise plate waste to innovative uses for typically discarded ingredients, the conversations were both inspiring and thought-provoking. Six Degrees Executive continues to be a key player in the FMCG space for over 20 years, partnering with iconic brands and progressive businesses to build leadership teams that drive success. It’s fantastic to see our consultants prioritise staying at the forefront of industry trends and innovations, ensuring they bring the latest insights and knowledge to their candidates and clients! #recruitment #finefoodaustralia #fmcg #sixdegreesexecutive
