TICT Q&A: WITH BIANCA WELSH, RECIPIENT OF THE 2019 TOURISM MINISTER’S YOUNG ACHIEVER AWARD

o-Owner of Stillwater SEVEN Restaurant, Seven Rooms and Black Cow Bistro, HR & Restaurant Manager, Board Director, Mental Health Ambassador with a Bachelor of Behavioural Science and most recently Tourism Minister’s Young Achiever Award Recipient 2019, Bianca Welsh’s name is synonymous with entrepreneurship and excellence in Tasmania’s tourism and hospitality industry. TICT’s Michaela Lamprey caught up with Bianca after her recent win to talk all things success, achievement and growth. What would you say is your defining career achievement or the thing you are most proud of? The recent Tourism Minister’s Award for Young Achiever is definitely one I’m most surprised with and honoured to have received. I feel incredibly humbled and have had a few of those “imposter” moments where I think I doubt the things I do. The Young Restaurateur of the Year award in 2015 also meant a lot to me being on a national level, as it certainly gave me the confidence that I was on right track to be the best in the industry and to be a leader in my field. But the thing I’m most proud of is the teams I’ve had the opportunity to put together and the relationships formed.
