Black & White Hospitality will host its inaugural Women in Business Luncheon on Thursday 19 May.

As part of CGU’s Business Lunch Series, the event includes a keynote address from Collingwood’s newest board member Christina Holgate, Blackmores Chief Executive Officer.

Ms Holgate boasts over 20 years public board experience, including her appointment as Chair of the Board of the Australian-ASEAN Council by the Government in September last year.

Arriving at Blackmores in 2008 with proven success leading teams through change, Ms Holgate has already achieved remarkable growth that resulted in the company launching 172 new products and achieving 82 per cent profit growth in 2015.

This success led to Ms Holgate being awarded 2015 CEO of the Year by both The CEO Magazine and The CEO Institute, the first female to win the latter award.

Ms Holgate’s fellow board member and Australian Olympic Gold Medallist Alisa Camplin-Warner will also be in attendance.

Guests will also enjoy entertainment from Kate McLennan and Kate McCartney, who have cooked their way into the Food Culture Revolution and became Overnight YouTube SensationsTM with The Katering Show, now showing on ABC iView.

Tickets are a $195 per person, or $1,750 for a table of 10, and includes a two-course meal, beverages and entertainment.
