Many of the Boomaroo Nurseries key staff members attended and had a great time; it was really great to see every one enjoying themselves on the night. Renee Jensch our seedling supervisor, and Candice Raeside our Greenlife growing Manager, were interviewed by the ABC's Country Wide program and by all reports made an admirable television debut. The night itself was a gala affair, with many key figures attending from the wider agricultural community, but there were also a number of key vegetable industry figures attending. We invited Frank and Angela Ruffo from Tripod farmers one of our key coloured lettuce customers to attend, and they joined with us on the table with Bayer. On the night we also caught up with Russell and Tina Lamattina from A & G Lamattina and Sons at Rosebud who were attending as guests of another key industry group. We also caught up with Oliver Dragonavic the National Tomato Product Manager for Costa's fresh produce in Melbourne.
In the end we did not win in the category for which we were nominated, which was "Australian Agri-business of the Year", but we were still proud to be nominated and would like to thank Bayer for their support in nominating us, and to the NAB for making the awards possible, along with all of the work carried out by the organizers on the night.
