About Cameron After university Cam worked for several years in Banking and Finance, moving into the family business in the early 2000’s. In existence for 40 years the company started off a repacker of confectionery and grew to be one of the largest importers and distributors in Australia. As a 2nd generation leader, I came into the business; learning from “in” the business how to do things, which had both good and bad consequences. Over the 20 years in the business, where we experienced the full roller coaster ride – ransomware, flooding, integrating the rise of China as a food manufacturer into our operation, achieving growth in a consolidating market, transitioning from a small to medium business, impacting the confectionery category as small supplier, innovating the sales model, and navigating COVID. As owners, successfully handled the succession from 1st generation, starting / closing / selling several ancillary businesses. Navigating the personal ownership / management conflicts and then negotiating a sale to my business partner. Dealing with the moral dilemma, supplier / staff / familial expectations, and commitments, navigating relationships once you let the cat out the bag. And dealing with my son crying when I told him I was no longer the candy man!! My personal passion is Coaching; Sporting and other as a profession, the activity of helping people be better versions of themselves is very exciting to me!
