spotlight ON BUSINESS SUCCESS AND SOLUTIONS

A LETTER FROM THE MD WITH THE COUNTRY UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT IT SEEMS SOME THINGS ARE LOOKING UP! Australia has enjoyed the best retail figures in years over the past Christmas season. I am hopeful we can continue to build on this, although I am sure some challenges lie ahead.

This year’s Queensland fair returns to its original home on the Gold Coast, and we are excited about what will be on show! With a raft of NEW companies and products, the fair has something for everyone.

Our popular Spotlight Learning Exchange will have experts in their field passing on their very best business tips. It’s all FREE and right on the fair floor.

As an added benefit you can make a brief appointment to receive one-on-one advice in our ‘Ask the Experts’ area.

It has often been said that industries are created by the people within them, so it’s with great delight that we look forward to hosting the Inaugural Jewellery Industry Awards. These awards are devoted to retail, trade excellence and the fabric of the industry – the people. Be a part of it on the night. You never know who will win!

Queensland this is YOUR fair. Support it so we can continue to build it and bring the very best to you. If you are interstate, we invite you to come to one of Australia’s most popular holiday destinations and mix business with pleasure.

We look forward to welcoming you to this year’s MUST-SEE event!

See you on the floor,

Gary Fitz-Roy Managing Director Fair Events

BUSINESS AND PLEASURE

COMBINE AT THIS YEAR’S AUSTRALIAN JEWELLERY FAIR With a range of activities for both retailers and suppliers to enjoy before the fair opens, the Australian Jewellery Fair on the Gold Coast is an ideal place to network over the weekend. Team up with colleagues and suppliers and challenge them to compete for the big fish, or play a round on the premier golf course. Maybe simply reward your staff by inviting them to share in these activities.

We know that time is precious, so we have structured two half-day activities for you to choose from:

SATURDAY MORNING – FISHING Everyone from first timers right through to experienced anglers can rest assured we will provide a true fishing experience. The Gold Coast region boasts a large variety of fish which include snapper, pearl perch, jewfish mulloway, marlin, mackerel, kingfish, cobia, sailfish, tuna and many more!

SATURDAY AFTERNOON – GOLF Gold Coast golf is an experience everyone should indulge in.

Come and join us at the picturesque Palm Meadows Golf Course, the original Gold Coast Golf Resort! The challenging 350 hectare course was designed by leading Australian golfer Graham Marsh.

This par 72 course measures 6319 metres off the championship tees.

Water comes into play on 14 holes and there are 82 sand bunkers.
