It is with great excitement we introduce the newest member to the Food & Drink Business team, Varun Bodhi.

Varun joined our ranks this week as a journalist, and I think special commendation should be given. Starting out as fresh university graduate, in your first job as a journalist, during a COVID-19 lockdown, is no small task and so far, he is doing so very well.

Varun completed his Bachelor of Communications at the University of Technology, Sydney last year. Since then, he has been completing an internship, which focused on social media content creation and digital marketing materials.

His hobbies include fitness and competitive arm wrestling – it’s a thing people.

We are thrilled to have him onboard and see his skills and knowledge of all things food and beverage manufacturing grow.

Welcome, Varun.
