There’s never a dull moment in the food manufacturing world and this story is no different.

Milo Gaffney has just celebrated his 20th Anniversary of The Outback Pie Company, having founded the business at the end of 2003 with his family.

Milo has created a fabulous business by innovating, differentiating and filling the gaps in the market that major competitors have left behind!

On top of that, The Outback Pie Company is based up in Australia’s tropical north QLD’s balmy Townsville, opposite the magnificent Magnetic Island.
