Bindaree Food Group today announced a new partnership with Meat Business Women Australia at the Annual Meat Business Women Conference in Brisbane, a strategic step in our commitment to building a more inclusive, connected and future-focused meat industry.
Through this partnership, Bindaree joins a global network of industry leaders working to elevate diversity and leadership capability across the meat supply chain. Team members across Bindaree’s operations will gain greater access to mentoring, leadership pathways, and cross-industry engagement opportunities.
Andrew McDonald, Chief Executive Officer of Bindaree Food Group, said the decision reflects the company’s long-term people strategy.
“Sustainable success in our industry depends on strong, diverse leadership,” McDonald said. “Partnering with Meat Business Women is part of our commitment to backing our people and ensuring we’re creating opportunities for talent to grow, from the processing floor to the boardroom.”
Speaking at the event, Rebecca Kelson, General Manager of Retail Operations at Bindaree, highlighted the practical value of the partnership.
“This isn’t just a symbolic gesture. It’s a step toward real capability-building,” Kelson said. “We want to ensure our people have the right networks, support and visibility to lead with confidence and contribute meaningfully to the future of the industry.”
The Meat Business Women partnership adds to Bindaree’s broader focus on workforce development, innovation, and building resilience across our fully integrated supply chain with people at the centre of our progress.
