Coles Liquor

We wish our Coles Liquor team a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🎉 As we wrap up another incredible year, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to our team for all the hard work, dedication, and passion that each of you has shown throughout 2024! Here’s to an even brighter 2025 filled with new opportunities, achievements, and successes. 🥂

A few weeks ago, #Liquorland and Tinnies as proud Gold Partners of Cricket Australia, brought our partnership to life at the Gabba Test match in Brisbane 🏏. As the action (and rain) unfolded on the pitch, we brightened up the sidelines with our #Liquorland boundary signage and kept fans refreshed with Tinnies Beer. We also treated fans to the Tinnies Terrace, an activation on level 4 under the western scoreboard, featuring an interactive HOWZAT photo moment and complimentary Tinnies cricket shirts for anyone shouting a round Tinnies HOWZAT Hazy Pale Ale. Brylie Dauparas, Senior Marketing Manager, said, “Bringing our brands to life at the Gabba Test was an incredible experience. Seeing our work resonate with fans and being part of such an iconic event was a true highlight for our team.” Supporting iconic events like this is a fantastic way for us to connect with communities and celebrate Australia’s passion for cricket. 🍻 We’re incredibly proud of our teams’ efforts and the unforgettable memories created for cricket fans! 🙌 #LifeAtColesLiquor #TeamColesLiquor #GabbaTest Mia Horner | Brylie Dauparas | Alexandra Miltiadou | Sophie Radonic | Sarah Wilson | Madi Hickey | Grace Knox | Jimmy Handley 

Over the past few weeks, some of our Coles Liquor graduates shone brightly as part of the 2024 Graduate Innovation Project! 🎉 After months of research, refinement, and collaboration, Mimi Stanbury, Peter Crowther, Gabrielle Cumbers, and Jasmine Csetoth presented their innovative solutions to the Coles Group Executive Leadership Team and the Coles Board. 👏 Jasmine Csetoth, 2023 Graduate said, "Presenting our idea to the ELT and Coles Board was an incredible opportunity. It was both nerve-wracking and rewarding to showcase something we worked so hard on and to receive valuable feedback from such influential leaders.“ Congratulations to the Liquor team and all the graduates who contributed to this year’s projects! Your efforts not only inspire but also pave the way for the future of innovation at Coles Liquor. 🍾 #TeamColesLiquor #LifeatColesLiquor #InnovationProject Jasmine Csetoth | Gabrielle Cumbers | Peter Crowther | Mimi Stanbury

ChangeUp focuses on building authentic leadership through the integration of values, wellbeing and purpose, led by Mim Bartlett 🌟 Ankita Mehta, Senior Marketing Manager – Retail Media said, “Change up was an incredibly empowering experience and very different to any other leadership programs I’ve attended.
