A word from the CEO...

"Being the inaugural winner of the Joe Berry Award was a great honour and provided a fantastic springboard to review overseas retailing and gather knowledge I have used many times in my career. The Award was a fantastic opportunity to put into writing and present to my peers my thoughts on the industry.

Subsequent to winning the scholarship, I have had the opportunity to judge the award. This has given me the opportunity to meet a wide diversity of people from all different backgrounds. It is one of the most exciting days of the year when we sit down to judge each year's winner.

The quality of young executives, their ability to present and write has improved each year and the industry should be pleased that the Joe Berry Award has contributed to the overall standing of our industry and helped so many individuals in many different ways"

Bernie Brookes, CEO Myer Ltd
