“I think I’ve just purchased a bankrupt cookie business…”
It was 2004 and taking on a business was the last thing on my mind. Busy managing my legal practice from our small home office and distracted with a breastfeeding baby I nodded and replied, “That’s nice, darling.”
Little did I realise that the journey that my husband, Ken and I were about to embark upon, would entwine so significantly with the story of Charlie’s cookies, biscuits and, food.
There have been some high highs — like seeing our products take to the skies after signing our first partnership with Qantas in 2010. And there have also been some huge challenges.
Over the last 16 years, we’ve seen Charlie’s mature from a small local bakery into a global business. Through all the ups and downs the most fulfilling aspect for us has been the reward of seeing our business bring people together.
It’s been a fun ride, and the way we see it, we’re only just getting started.
