Two years has passed since our last get-together and I don’t need to remind you how much our industry has grown right before our eyes. Importantly, so has our group. We also have a dedicated Danks Business Support area where our team will be on hand to discuss group store opportunities and services with you. Plus so much more! With the full backing of Australia’s largest retailer we’re on track to deliver on our 5-year Business Plan to strengthen, grow and transform our business. And yours. I encourage you to visit all exhibitors and take advantage of the many deals and opportunities on offer at the Danks Trade Show. Our focus remains on delivering meaningful business benefits to help you grow and prosper well into the future. Combined with buying and sourcing opportunities, supply chain improvements, marketing excellence and leading edge technology, our total business package represents a superior offer to all our group stores, and this will continue. That’s why we’ve introduced the theme of ‘Building Momentum’ to this year’s event. It captures the energy that we’ve built as a group over the last two years, and what better place to celebrate our successes than in the sunshine state. Our team have pulled out all stops to make Gold Coast 2013 our biggest and best event to date. We have a record number of exhibitors at the Trade Show together with the Danks stand which has grown once again in size to enable us to showcase the enhanced depth and range of our private label offering. Our Conference program offers a chance to gain further insights into the future direction of the Danks and Woolworths Home Improvement business, and the benefits being passed back to our vibrant and growing hybrid store network. Together with our professional speaker line up which has been carefully selected to inspire, motivate and most importantly, provide you with key learnings to apply in your business, it’s a day you simply should not miss. And let’s not forget the show-stopping nightly social program where you can network with fellow retailers, suppliers and the Danks team. Plus, we recognise the importance of our group stores travelling together as a family and have provided a welcoming environment and a fun packed event for children to participate in the action too. There’s never been a better time to be with Danks, and this week will highlight exactly why as we continue this exciting journey of momentum.

Like a number of the ABC personalities James is a versatile broadcaster and performer. He is well known for his host role of the ABC show New Inventors. A role that provided James with an insight into the hands on process of creativity, innovation and design. James’ background as a commercial and criminal lawyer blended with his live and broadcast comedy has helped him become a talented and versatile comedian, entertainer and communicator. Because of his extensive broadcasting, writing and stage experience James is the perfect choice for MC at the Danks National Conference. With his quick wit and broad knowledge of the business space, James will host the event as Master of Ceremonies (MC) for both the Danks Conference and Gala Awards Dinner.

Her fast-paced keynote presentations take her audience on a journey, an unforgettable experience where they are challenged to embrace a new way of thinking about, and seeing, their current world. They are touched and inspired to grow.
