  • How City Larder grew from niche player to market leader
    Mar 25 2025

    In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor, Kim Berry, is joined by City Larder co-founders, Robbie and Rebecca Bell, and Commonwealth Bank’s GM for Small Business Vic/Tas, Tess McCormack.

    Robbie and Rebecca provide an overview of City Larder and building its reputation as a premium brand for French-style charcuterie products. After seeing a gap in the market for their products, the Bells share how they have overcome challenges, built business relationships, and made investment decisions to grow their product range and production capabilities.

    Tess gives us an overview of Commonwealth Bank’s investment in understanding their clients and providing them with support for a variety of needs, from covering unforeseen costs, equipment, and investing in sustainable utility upgrades to reduce costs and increase production.

    We finish our discussion by considering the importance for SMEs to explore financing options available to them, particularly during business growth and the benefits that can come with a diversified customer base.

  • Forecasting consumer behaviours and market trends for 2025
    Mar 11 2025

    In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is re-joined by Cormac Henry, the Associate Director for Food and Drink at Mintel.

    We start looking at the trends for 2025 by considering our previous discussion on the results from Mintel’s study which reviewed consumer behaviours including their preference for new experiences, short moments of joy, and health supplements. We explore the uptick in rule rebellion with more snacking and home delivery, introduction of Ozempic into the market and the impact it brings on food and diet preferences and the possible food and beverage opportunities. This extends into improving transparency in the supply chain, production processes, and the ingredients involved.

    We wrap up by considering the paradoxes of the trends that show the spectrum of human behaviour.

  • The power and pull of regional manufacturing
    Dec 10 2024

    In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by Dominic Westendorf, the Regional and Agribusiness Banking Victoria GM for CommBank, and the CEO of Ferndale Foods Australia, Leigh Edward, to discuss the valuable role and benefits of regional food and beverage manufacturing.

    Leigh tells us about Ferndale Foods, and how its foundations are as much in Ballarat as in his family (Ferndale was founded by his father). He shares insights on the benefits of being regionally based, from cheaper industrial land enabling more capital for equipment and operations, to a local workforce and the added benefits that flow into a community from having larger companies in town.

    Dominic talks about his passion for regional business and shares some of the findings of the latest CommBank Regional Manufacturing Report. While higher interest rates and energy costs persist, the report found 89 per cent of regional manufacturers and distributors were confident about future conditions and were more bullish than their city counterparts on expecting revenue and profit uplifts in the year ahead.

    Leigh and Dominic talk about the value in having a working relationship where both parties have a thorough knowledge of the local, regional, and macro-economic factors as well as the business.

    Leigh provides some insights into the process of growing Ferndale twice – an $11m investment to install marshmallow production and $23m for a snack bar line.
