    Ep 27 - Prospering Together: The power of Indigenous partnerships

    At Beca Australia, we're proud of our commitment to discovering ways to work in partnership with First Nations to create equal opportunity, financial security, and enhance job opportunities for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people. While recognition and strategic commitment are essential first steps, tangible change is created by increasing the involvement of Indigenous thinking and business engagement across the supply chain.  On this episode of the F&B Sound Bites, we speak with Anthony Corrie, Community Relationships Manager at Beca, and George Misfud, Director at the Indigenous Defence & Infrastructure Consortium, to share their perspectives on how F&B companies can elevate their Indigenous business engagement and learn what it truly means to be committed to reconciliation and prosperity for Indigenous communities.  We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we recorded this podcast episode. We pay our respects to elders past, present, and emerging.

    Ep 26 - Love it or list it? How to unlock the value of brownfield sites

    Picture this: You've got a brownfield site. It's not perfect and it may be causing you some headaches, but it's got its gems and you're weighing several options. Do you love it, or do you list it? While it might be tempting to look ahead and just list it, we're here to talk about the love it option, and how developing a masterplanning perspective can enable teams to unlock the value of your industrial facility. On this episode of the F&B Sound Bites, we have Michael Warne, Senior Principal Architect at Beca and head of Beca's Design Practice team, to share how a masterplanning approach can discover different angles and be the missing piece to unlocking value for your brownfield sites.

    Ep 20 - Switching the light to green

    In a utopian world, Food and Beverage manufacturers wouldn’t have to forgo the long, confusing, and costly transition to cleaner energy sources to power their manufacturing plants. The ‘dirty’ grid would be miraculously funded by the government, transitioning it to green energy, flicking the magic switch to green.  But like all great dreams, we are (against our own will) jolted back to reality.
