A desire for a change in pace and a life-long love of her grandmother’s cooking led burnt-out Melbourne PR executive Greta Donaldson to a new life, and a new business - Bendigo Brittle.
Greta was inspired to establish the business after whipping up a batch of peanut brittle for a family Christmas gathering. The brittle was a huge hit and she began to consider options for sale.
Bendigo Brittle has now established a strong following as Greta, and a small team of employees, offer her sweet treats from an uber cool confectionery cart at markets around Victoria as well as being in talks with supplying her brittle to a national airline.
Greta shares with us the fast-paced life of PR, how she “knocks the socks off” potential stockists, why she waited to launch a website, the importance of networking and how her world ground to a halt after losing her little sister Peta to ovarian cancer.
PLUS Greta shares with us an exclusive announcement in regards to a new Bendigo Brittle product.
Also mentioned in this episode - Mia Freeman, Gorgi Coghlan, Mardi Featherston, Bendigo Tourism, Business Victoria, Studio Von, Sonya Anthony from Masons Bendigo, and Sarah from Windella Farm.
