This time of year we start to realise that Christmas is just around the corner.

For so many of our readers who run bakeries, bakery cafes, patisseries and cake shops now is the time to gear up in preparation for the busy holiday break.

Fine Food Australia Expo 2008 Melbourne
(September 22-25) was a great success and our Leading Edge stand HQ 44 at the show, positioned nearby the crowds visiting The Great Aussie Meat Pie Competition and Bake Skills, was flat out.

It was also great to catch up with so many of our clients and friends in the industry.

Our Leading Edge give-away show bags were a massive hit with show attendees. We’d like to thank well over 20 companies for booking their inserts (i.e. brochures catalogues, promotional items, product samples, etc) to place in our deluxe show bags and we were very pleased that 2000 of them were eagerly snapped up over the four days of the expo.

We are very pleased to welcome a new member to our Leading Edge Team,Viv McLean-Wilson.
