Giving back to growers with visit from cricketing greats

from Fresh Source Autumn 2022

Honoured guests visit Brisbane Markets

Brisbane Markets Limited (BML) headed to Bundaberg at the end of February to take part in a special night of food and fun with cricketing legends, the Bulls Masters. The event saw local growers and their families rubbing shoulders with the Bulls Masters cricketing greats, Allan Border AO, Jimmy Maher, Darren Lehmann, Ken Healy, Carl Rackemann and Michael Kasprowicz. Throughout the evening, growers were treated to rare insight from the legends themselves, showing the kids a bat trick or two, while sharing tales of the good old days through a Q&A session. According to BML Communications and Marketing Executive, Seren Trump, the event was a great way to give back to the region’s growers and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. “The fresh produce industry’s core message of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables has never been more relevant,” Ms Trump said. “BML is delighted to be aligned with Bulls Masters who share these values. It’s also very important to Brisbane Markets to connect with the growing regions throughout Queensland, which is why we support Bundaberg Fruit and Vegetable Growers (BFVG) in a partnership that has continued for more than 12 years. “Our relationship sees growers and wholesalers supporting one another to address issues affecting the industry, facilitating greater industry representation to government and achieving wider community recognition. “From an industry perspective, BML is proud of the work we collectively do to promote the fresh produce industry throughout this state, and that starts in regions like Bundaberg and the great work done by growers.”
