| 5 Sally Gallagher won the inaugural Newstalk ZB Inspiring Women in Export Award at the 2023 Hawke’s Bay Export Awards. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Apollo Foods - The Apple Press “All ideas are valued and heard, no matter how large scale or ambitious. “I am open to the strategies and approaches of others, always available to my team and provide plenty of guidance and support along the way.” She is passionate about sharing knowledge with her team and using her real life experience from her background working in corporate and other start-ups in food and beverage in both the US and New Zealand including extensive business and market development experience paired with a wealth of food technology and nutrition. “I am a ‘doer’ so a lot of the stuff I talk about I’ve actually done rather than watch others do it. “I’m also an open transparent person, a straight talker. “What you see is what you get. I think people like that. When it comes to recruitment, promoting from within is Sally’s priority. Team members are encouraged to broaden their skill set by moving into different areas of the business as well as stepping up to more senior roles. “It’s about growing our people to be the best they can be,” she says. She says Apollo Foods continues to grow with The Apple Press launching a range of smoothies late last year. “They are doing really well and we are just about to launch a new spirulina smoothie. Apollo Foods is also about to kick off recruitment in China due to growth. “We already deal direct with retailers there but we’re wanting someone on the ground to build our footprint in China more broadly.” Proud to beworking with Apollo Foods on its journey for a better tomorrow. www.cedenco.co.nz Apollo Foods Proudly supplying quality corrugated packaging to Packaging Central +64 6 367 6800 casectrl@ojifs.com ojifs.com
