First ABT Executive Luncheon serves up great relations

The first in a series of ABT Executive Luncheons was held on the 28th October 2010.

The ABT Executive Luncheon series brings together select groups of influential CEO’s in an environment encouraging open discussion of business issues.

Guest speaker at the first luncheon was CEO of CD&A, Chris Delaney, offering insights into the often sticky world of Industrial Relations.

Chris Delaney’s' keynote topic was ‘Unfair Dismissals Claims – How safe are you?’.
As a regular adviser to several Government and Industry Policy Committees his candid advice was considered invaluable.

Not only are Executive Luncheons a chance for senior business leaders to learn about business relevant topics but the convivial atmosphere certainly unearthed some interesting conversation.

Invitees enjoyed a three-course fine dining experience accompanied by an outstanding selection of wines personally chosen by Frank O’Donoghue, Sale Director at ABT.

In attendance were; Reg King, Managing Director ABT; Andrew Kunce, Technical Director ABT; Frank O’Donoghue, Sales Director ABT; Eldred Richards, General manager ABT; Chris Delaney, CD&A; Terry Stanley, Manager ABT Security; Peter Salmon, Salmon Bros Electric Pty Ltd; Hadrian Morrall, PB Packaging; and Alan Stace, UGM Engineers Pty Ltd.

Proceedings were certainly not all serious as the day also happened to be Reg King’s birthday. After Chris’ keynote discussion attendees were able to pursue other pressing matters, being the enjoyment of an outstanding meal and Franks wine selections.

The next ABT Executive Luncheon is set for the 16th February 2011.
ABT look forward to their valued clients being in attendance in what promises to deliver another enjoyable afternoon of lively discussion.
